Your issue is improper set up of the overrides, not the request map
itself. When you play with path-based overrides the usual outcome is pain
and agony, but that aside, you MUST follow the rule the documentation
tries to make explicit:

The handleURL for an override MUST map in the RequestMap to the overridden
applicationId. Yours is probably not in at least one of the cases you're
trying because you're flipping it between /path and /test/path.

I don't now what your handlerURL is overridden to be, it's not in your
message, but it's the underlying problem, it doesn't map to the right
applicationId in the case that results in the message.

As a related point, you almost never need overrides if entityID isn't
overridden, and the best starting point might be to explain what you need
it for and see if you really do.
