It looks like these options may be over complicating things. While you can get super fancy with rewrites, I've found it's easiest to use Wonder's built-in support and one singe rule to get deployed. If you need additional rules, you can stack them in above this one, otherwise this configuration should take care of you:
1) in your Resources/Properties file add (to get Wonder to rewrite during deployment):
# Apache Deployment Rewrite
er.extensions.ERXApplication.replaceApplicationPath.pattern=/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyApp.woa
er.extensions.ERXApplication.replaceApplicationPath.replace=/myapp
2) In your VirtualHost config, include (for Apache to reverse Wonder's rewrite from above):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/myapp(.*)$ /cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyApp.woa$1 [PT,L]
</IfModule>
