Comment:

 Here's how to reproduce:

 1. Create a sub-directory multi-site installation per normal
 2. Try to load a fictitious file from wp-content such as:
 http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/test.jpg
 3. Observe "500 Internal Server Error" due to "Request exceeded the limit
 of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error."

 I believe this is because after this rule is applied:

 RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]

 Apache tries to rewrite (internally) from "wp-
 content/uploads/2013/10/test.jpg" to "/wp-
 content/uploads/2013/10/test.jpg" with a beginning slash. Then the
 aforementioned rule gets applied again because it matches - creating a
 loop.

 Expected result: 404 Page
