I'm not familiar with using lighttpd, but I know that if that was done
is Apache (and it is fairly easy to do), it is frowned upon as it
causes each request to add to the error logs. Imagine trying to
find/debug a real problem in a high traffic site in that situation.

The Apache solution is to use conditional statments to only use the
rewrite rules if the requested file/directory/etc does not already
exist in the file system. You may want to check with lighttpd for a
similar feature. When you find a solution, feel free to post back here
for others benefit.
