Comment (by scamartist26):

 Here is the current setup.

 /mu-plugins/myplugin
 /mu-plugins/myplugin2
 /mu-plugins/myplugin3
 /mu-plugins/myplugin_symlinked
 /mu-plugins/all_plugins_loader.php

 `all_plugins_loader.php` has the includes for all main
 `/myplugin/myplugin.php` files as noted here: [ticket:16953#comment:120].
 The `myplugin_symlinked` works fine to run the application ''other than
 any calls using'' `plugins_url()` or `plugin_dir_url()`. Those functions
 do not use the same catch that is in the `plugin_basename()` for the
 `$realdir` variable here:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.3.1/src/wp-
 includes/plugin.php#L656. Therefore it defaults to the `plugins`
 directory.
