Comment:

 I actually ran into this same issue; I think this is valid...

 This is the setup we're using (WordPress MU):

 About (Front Page)
  -- History
  -- Directory
 Academic Programs
  -- Undergraduate
  ----- etc.
  ----- etc.
  -- etc.
 etc.

 The front page URL is:
 http://domain.tld/site/

 The children page of the front page is:
 http://domain.tld/site/about/history/
 http://domain.tld/site/about/directory/

 You cannot rename the front-page slug without going through a couple of
 steps (removing it from front-page setting).

 So the question is: should the children of the front-page be at the root
 level? i.e in my example should the children page URL be:
 http://domain.tld/site/history/
 http://domain.tld/site/directory/

 (which seems to go against the normal site structure)

 OR

 should we be able to change the slug of a front page?
