Comment (by JeremyVisser):

 lighttpd has the full equivalent of {{{RewriteRule}}} support, but
 absolutely no equivalent to {{{RewriteCond}}} support, so you can't stop
 it from rewriting URLs that link to real files.

 One hack might be to make your {{{WP_HOME}}} directory a sibling of
 {{{WP_SITEURL}}}, rather than the same directory, or a parent. Another
 hack people have used is setting {{{/index.php}}} as the 404 handler,
 which works quite well, provided you're only intending on running one copy
 of WordPress on your web server. (And you don't care about what your 404s
 look like.)
