Comment (by nacin):

 Roughly, home_url() is wherever the homepage is located, while site_url()
 is wherever the site's files are located.

 If you had example.com with WordPress at example.com/wordpress, then
 home_url() would return the former and site_url() would return the latter.
 site_url() is thus used whenever we're targeting a particular file,
 whether that's wp-login.php or in something like includes_url() for
 example.com/wordpress/wp-includes.

 I'd be curious to know what the home and siteurl option values are for the
 various sites. For a post-3.5 multisite setup that puts WP into a
 subdirectory, it should look like this:

  * main site: home url is domain.com, siteurl is domain.com/wordpress
  * additional sites: home url and siteurl are both domain.com/sitename
 (since we require rewrite rules for multisite, we can dynamically rewrite
 things and don't require home url and siteurl to be different)

 siteurl *is* taken to account when setting the cookie because wp-login.php
 would be located at site_url( 'wp-login.php' ). Using REQUEST_URI was a
 matter of not wreaking havoc when someone was doing crazy/weird filtering
 of URLs or whatever.
