Comment(by ryan):

 Indeed, htaccess is not automatically updated.  It likely never will be
 given that we would have to bring the filesystem abstraction code into the
 picture and require FTP auth to get write access.  Further, many multisite
 operators heavily customize their rewrite rules and we'd have to take care
 not to stomp those customizations.  Upgrading MU/multisite imposes a
 greater burden than upgrading single site WP.
