Well, I restarted with a simple beta31 installation, and no skin.
Details are below.
Experiments show that I need at leat the DirectoryIndex  directive, and 
the 2 rewrite rules.
A internal redirection appends due may be to some header() function in 
pmwiki php code arising when the wiki root url is called. I don't know 
why (windows XP particularity ??).

Then, I switched back to my normal config, and all things continue to 
work...

config.php :
   <?php
   $ScriptUrl = 'http://localhost/pmwiki';
   $EnablePathInfo = 1;
   ?>
.htaccess :
   DirectoryIndex pmwiki.php
   AcceptPathInfo On
   Options +FollowSymLinks
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule /pmwiki pmwiki.php [L]
   RewriteRule ^([^/a-z].*) pmwiki.php?n=$1 [QSA,L]
