That's in load_template(), which should never be called when only 
loading wp-config.php.  Curious.

If you look at the wp() call in functions.php, you'll see that it calls 
WP::main() in classes.php.  main() does the basic init for a WP session. 
  You can call any of those functions individually, leaving out ones 
such as handle_404() that you don't want to run.  You can try this:

require('./wp-config.php');

$wp->init();
$wp-parse_request();
$wp->send_headers();
$wp->query_posts();
//Skip built-in 404 and do your own thing.
// $wp->handle_404();
custom_404_handler();
$wp->register_globals();


Of course, fixin WP in a way that accomodates everyone would be 
preferable.  I didn't do the suggested change for 2.0.1 simply because I 
was afraid it would break other setups.  We can nail this down for the 
next release.
