Script is described in the doc as:

'SCRIPT_NAME'
Contains the current script's path. This is useful for pages which need to point to themselves. 

This is true for the mod_php version. But if you are running php as CGI (under Apache at least) it isn't true. SCRIPT_NAME then points to the php bin path, not the script name.

Example (Apache conf):

ScriptAlias /php-engine /web/tools/php
Action x-php-cgi /phh-engine/php

would result in a SCRIPT_NAME of

/php-engine/php

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
