Comment:

 I wasn't able to duplicate this using the steps provided, but I was able
 to duplicate a similar issue when WordPress is installed in a
 subdirectory, and you're hitting an index.php in a higher level directory.

 The string replace would replace /b/ in /a/b/c/ when it should be
 stripping off the /a/ as well, [attachment:25797.diff] fixes that case.

 I can't determine if that's the same problem as being reported here
 though, since the steps are radically different. Can you try the patch and
 see if it works for your case?

 nginx unrolls symlinks in it's root, and Apache doesn't allow DocumentRoot
 to point to a Symlink (at least, not under default configurations), so the
 exact steps here were a bit hard to duplicate.
