Comment (by nacin):

 Replying to [comment:96 tollmanz]:
 > I have tested 16953.9.diff and it works well for a situation where I was
 bit by this "bug". My situation involves a Capistrano-like "releases"
 directory that is symlinked to a web root. Within the WordPress
 installation, the wp-content directory has been moved.

 This isn't really Capistrano-specific, or really related at all, as
 Capistrano is symlinked from the web root. At least where I have seen
 this, wp-content is not typically then symlinked from elsewhere.

 ----

 I found a few missing wp_register_plugin_realpath() calls. Specifically
 around plugin sandboxing and also for mu-plugin inclusion. Network plugins
 are in the normal plugins directory. mu-plugins are separate; they are
 indeed supported by plugin_basename() and are represented by the
 WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR directory.

 Trying this out sans-filter.
