Comment (by MichaelH):

 Thought this should be considered a blocker for 2.7, but at least you can
 manually create the wp-config.php file and install WordPress in a sub-
 directory successfully, even if there is an existing installation in the
 web-root folder.

 As a note, almost all cPanel based hosting arrangements will use
 public_html as the web-root folder for the 'main' domain associated with
 the hosting account.

 If the "Giving WordPress its own Directory" technique [1] is used for the
 'main' domain then this wouldn't be a problem in that scenario.
