There were a couple of issues that have been fixed in the 2.4 branch and
HEAD. One involves your application writing to the toplevel web.config,
the other, creating new folders under the physical root path of your
application.

Anyway, easy workaround: use --applications
'/:.,/somethingelse:/someempty/folder/in/your/disk'
