 Probably wpdb::$base_prefix has been merged into from MU and not further
 specified then.

 It ''genereally'' can be replaced with {{{wpdb::get_blog_prefix(0)}}} when
 the MULTISITE constant is defined. That is are after wp-settings.php has
 been included (wp-config.php, wp-load.php), even on SHORTINIT.

 It ''might'' be that this function call does not cover all cases needed
 because if MULTISITE is not defined when called, it will not return the
 {{{wpdb::$base_prefix}}}.

 More insight into MU is needed, feedback appreceated. Some places look
 like that they are not aware of the wpdb::get_blog_prefix() function.
 Probably legacy MU code.
