I don't know much about proxy and reverse proxy settings, but do you 
also have a proxy pass set for the tmp directory where the map image is 
created (the one defined in the map file for IMAGEURL)?

I'm quitre sure I never tested on another port than 80... You can modify 
the file xmlhttp.js after line 192

var port = loc.port > 0 ? ':' + loc.port : '';
var linkhref = loc.protocol + '//' + loc.hostname + port + loc.pathname 
+ '?dg=' + dg + '&me=' + me + '&language=' + gLanguage + confpar + 
urlPntStrPar;
