Comment:

 I have found the issue - in wp-settings.php there is a fix for IIS
 servers, starting on line 28.

 In my case, REQUEST_URI is not empty, but it is wrong, so line 29:

 if ( empty( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ) {

 Needs to become:

 {

 to force the change.

 This would mean that it's not a bug, more a config issue that needs to be
 suggested to affected users in the documentation, or on the forums.
