Comment(by pdclark):

 FWIW, wp_upload_dir() uses get_option( 'siteurl' ) 2/3 of the time, but
 WP_CONTENT_URL 1/3 of the time. The first gives https:// correctly, but
 the second doesn't.

 This leads to unreliable behavior where wp_upload_dir() is used.
 Specifically, bp_core_avatar_url() and bp_core_avatar_upload_path() in
 BuddyPress use it, so avatars for members and groups throw an error on
 pages that are SSL.

 I've attached a plugin that works as a temporary fix for wp_upload_dir(),
 in case anyone else out there is using BuddyPress over SSL. It needs to be
 put in mu-plugins to attach early enough.
