Comment:

 The problem is not just with Apache. Here's the issue: `PATH_INFO` is
 (according to the CGI spec) supplied url-decoded, but `REQUEST_URI` us
 url-encoded. !Wordpress does string comparisons on these two, which is
 fine when there are only ascii characters in the URL, but fails when there
 are others.

 Here is a patch that works for me. I imagine it will need some testing to
 make sure the behaviour is consistent in all environments.
