Comment (by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 Replying to [comment:1 nacin]:
 > The entire admin menu uses just relative URLs, not just index.php. Why
 does this matter?

 It's prettier and more consistent:

 - from the front-end, you see the url you're going as example.com/wp-
 admin/
 - from the back-end, you see the url you're going as example.com/wp-
 admin/index.php

 Changing that from index.php to ./ in the menu code would make the two
 show as example.com/wp-admin/.

 I'll supply the patch for you to see if you're interested (I'm resorting
 to js in the meanwhile.) Else, just close as wontfix.
