I read back through the thread and saw some things that don't look
correct. Please see my comments below.

I don't think this is correct. Even though I run mediagoblin at
domain.tld/mediagoblin, my alias directives in lighttpd look like below.
I don't include my subdirectory in the alias url.

  alias.url += (
    "/mgoblin_static" => "/path/to/mediagoblin/mediagoblin/static/",
    "/mgoblin_media/" => "/path/to/mediagoblin/user_dev/media/public/",
    "/theme_static/" => "/path/to/mediagoblin/user_dev/theme_static/",
    "/plugin_static/" => "/path/to/mediagoblin/user_dev/plugin_static/"
  )

I don't think this is correct either. My paste_local.ini routing section
still has the default values below.

/mgoblin_media = %(here)s/user_dev/media/public
/mgoblin_static = %(here)s/mediagoblin/static
/theme_static = %(here)s/user_dev/theme_static
/plugin_static = %(here)s/user_dev/plugin_static


Your webserver config should handle the subdirectory stuff, and when it
passes the fcgi request to mediagoblin, mediagoblin doesn't need to know
it's behind a subdirectory.
