Comment (by imath):

 @johnjamesjacoby: about `remove_all_filters( 'upload_dir' )`

 So far we are not taking in account the fact that a plugin/administrator
 ... may filter `'upload_dir'` in a more "global" scope than we do.

 I can see reasons why we would want to make sure to get an "unfiltered"
 `wp_upload_dir()` : for instance we can fear a plugin/theme to play 'not
 nicely' in this area.

 On the other hand, i'm unsure how an administrator would set a different
 path for uploads for "security reasons" (eg: move the uploads out of the
 site's web directory) : filtering `'upload_dir'` or defining the
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Moving_uploads_folder
 UPLOADS] constant.

 So i think we have 2 choices :
 - do nothing. So far everything seems to be ok with avatars.
 - or use a `bp_upload_dir()` out of an unfiltered `wp_upload_dir()`, but
 then we would need to explain how to set a different path

 What do you think ?
