Comment (by mtekk):

 The only problem is on upgrade if the user had used a non-default location
 in the past. If they used a default path, everything works ok, if they
 don't the added option will break things. If it is possible the upgrade
 process should try to find a value for "Full URL path to files". Really,
 this is something that should have been caught (and fixed) before 2.6 was
 released as the bulk of the damage it will do has already been done. If it
 is going to get fixed, it should be done for 2.6.1. It isn't documented
 well in the codex yet, I updated it a bit but it could be explained
 better.

 None-the-less, this is the same problem as described in #7305, it's just
 that after the upgrading process you notice it rather than making the
 change while in 2.6 and noticing it when you upload something.
