I mitigate this with isInNet(). The ruleset makes the distinction for the user. 
I distribute proxy
settings via dhcp/dns and when a remote vpn user without their gateway 
redirected acquires an
ip on their tunnel interface, their browser would otherwise redirect without 
this.

Lol, no matter what you do, someone will find a way, however a transparent 
proxy could
help this. Kids...

Well, obviously I don't know your environment as well you, however I would 
suggest
revisiting the plethora of potential rulesets you can setup in the pac file, 
you may just be
surprised at what you can automate which would greatly simplify things imho.

When I am testing changes or complex rulesets, if the control flow isn't 
obvious I'll throw
in alert() calls then as the browser is processing the ruleset, message boxes 
appear.
