This is caused by the usage of the default configuration for the wrong purpose.
If you look into the configuration examples in the installation package,
there's a configuration file Internet.pi3 (I think the name is
self-explaining), which uses plain html error pages and not the more talkative
SSI pages, as in the default configuration.
The default configuration has rather been made for web development and feature
demonstration so this IMO has never been a security problem. Nevertheless I
provided a checkbox in the administration client in order to switch on verbose
error messages explicitely in Pi3Web 2.0.1.

This has (afaik) never been reproduced until today. I retested it multiple
times using older and recent versions and always got a 404 status code in the
response as expected in that case.
