This is very odd.  Can you check that you don't have a second IMAGEPATH
further down in your mapfile?

Also, try printing the value of $map->web->imagepath immediately after
the call to ms_newMapObj() to find out if it reads the right value. 
Then print this value again just before the call to SaveWebImage() ...
if the value is empty before saveWebImage() then it must be your script
that changed the value somewhere.  If the value is still valid then it
is likely a bug in MapScript and the best way to troubleshoot this for
us would be to get a small sample app with scripts and data that
reproduces this.  But since nobody else ran into that, it seems unlikely
to be a bug and I would check for a problem in the mapfile or PHP script
first.
