Comment (by bpetty):

 By the way, the reason I ever looked into this was because I believe this
 is the reason why @nacin was
 [https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-
 dev&day=2013-09-13&sort=asc#m687762 having so much trouble reproducing a
 test failure] just back in Sept. The problem we were investigating was a
 failure in wp_guess_url() (#25317) which was only used during
 installation, and the resulting values stored in the DB were the values
 triggering test failures with canonical URL tests. If the unit tests were
 recently run successfully before it was broken, they would continue
 running successfully even with the broken version until you cleared the
 database and ran the tests again, or changed your configuration.
