Ryan,

I've also found that I can't redirect "/mysite.net/index.php" to 
"/mysite.net/ any longer using either my .htaccess or my host's cPanel. 
The important thing here is that I already had these "index.php" 
specific redirects installed in both my .htaccess and my host's cPanel 
for so long that I forgot about them. They've been working right up 
through 2.3.3 without a hitch and 2.5 up until recently. I can't say for 
sure since I don't visit "Permalinks" that often in the Admin.

Sorry I can't take this any further but I'm not up to speed on these 
things. Looks like a problem though since redirects for "/index.php" no 
longer work..
