Comment:

 I ran into the same problems with squid changing the REQUEST_URI, but I
 found that if you have access to the squid.conf file, you can workaround
 the problem (until the patch becomes mainstream) by changing the
 cache_peer line to include the "originserver" option. You must have the
 rproxy patch, or be using Squid v3.

 For example:

 cache_peer 127.0.0.1        parent  80      7       no-query round-robin
 no-digest originserver

 This will prevent squid from altering the REQUEST_URI, and is probably a
 good idea regardless of whether Wordpress uses REQUEST_URI or not, since
 other sites might be depending on it.

 My workaround only works if you are using one squid server. If you are
 using multiple squid servers, then there is the possibility that the
 REQUEST_URI will be changed at the first one and not reverted at the last
 one. (I'm no squid expert, and I haven't tried this setup.)

 Also, I would like to point out that the use of REQUEST_URI in the
 Wordpress source is much more systemic than just schema.php and
 upgrade.php. An rgrep on my copy returns 33 hits (version 2.3 of
 Wordpress).
