Comment(by dz0ny):

 Possibly also fixes http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12973,
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12255.

 Clarification about infinite loop. If someone uses
 {{{
 rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
 }}}

 the Wordpress generated URL would be somesite.tld/index.php/about which
 would causes browser infinite loop.

 I'am also writing better patch, to detect servers and offer user option to
 choose whether he is using custom rewrite rules.
