I looked a little closely and there is something weird, there is a request in your XWikiContext but it does not return any servlet path according to your stack trace. If it's running in it's own thread how do you create the XWikiContext ?

No need, even if it's cleaner but it should be exactly the same java object I think, so I don't understand why your context's request object is wrong. Could you send you full stack trace ?
