 We are experiencing this issue with a Multisite subdirectory install, with
 the same reproduction steps in
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20746#comment:11. Our error logs
 fill daily with "Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due
 to probable configuration error."

 Our installation was originally a single site that was upgraded to
 multisite. Upgrading to multisite caused this error on our site, though
 multiple commenters above describe this issue on fresh multisite installs
 as well.
