Comment (by tollmanz):

 I have tested 16953.9.diff and it works well for a situation where I was
 bit by this "bug". My situation involves a Capistrano-like "releases"
 directory that is symlinked to a web root. Within the WordPress
 installation, the wp-content directory has been moved. I experienced
 problems with WordPress SEO and this fixed it.

 Now that 3.9 is moving along, can this be further tested and integrated. I
 think that we should aim to build a suite of unit tests that address the
 different scenarios. This will likely be tricky given that to perform the
 tests, the environment needs to be configured in a special way. It's
 probably worth-while to increase the confidence that the chosen solution
 is backwards compatible, yet solves the issues.
