Comment:

 It's all very well saying "your firewall is broken, get someone to fix it"
 but as noted in the original description we are talking about a somewhat
 common, if misguided, configuration. I am aware of two shared hosting
 providers that have this setup, neither of which is prepared to even
 consider changing it.

 I suggest that at least the filter hook be put in place (as per Nazgul's
 patch) in order to allow this situation to be rectified by a plugin,
 rather than those affected having to rely on a code hack with every new
 Wordpress release.
