Comment:

 patch still works against today's trunk.

 confirming the bug. I'm personally getting this, with a similar setup
 (index.php in ~/denis/, wp-config.php in ~/denis/wp.php):

 {{{
 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /~denis/
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule . /~denis/index.php [L]
 </IfModule>
 }}}

 patch allows the files to be written as needed. and it continues to work
 with both the index.php file and the wp-config.php file in ~/denis/wp/.

 haven't tested the following setup, but I'm pretty certain neither of the
 current and the patch codes will work using it:

  - index.php in ~/denis/test/
  - WP/config.php in ~/denis/wp/

 still, the suggested patch is an improvement as compared to the current
 code base.
