It's a little difficult to tell with your ... syntax.

Did you have 

http://some.host.org:8080/manage or
http://some.host.org:8080/some/path/manage

Normally, when you get the contents listing that you desire, there are
other tabs (like View, Properties, Security).  For Folder, like the
root folder, Contents is the default view.  I know for ZClasses the
default view can be changed, for example, to View to render
index_html, which would account for what you are seeing.  So if you
are visiting http://some.host.org:8080/some/path/manage and 'path' is
a ZClass, then some other admin may have changed the default view of
that ZClass to index_html.  I suspect the same can be done for the
root folder, but I don't know how.
