Comment (by shawnkhall):

 @scribu, I don't see why that matters? apply_filters is loaded via
 WPINC/plugin.php in wp-settings.php:72, the database is loaded at wp-
 settings.php:75, and the multisite constants are loaded in wp-
 settings.php:90.

 I understand that means absolutely nothing as far as wp-config.php, but
 that file is not the only place configuration can occur.

 For those of us using systems of scale, we rely heavily on database
 plugins (I personally use Multi-DB), and the sequence above would enable
 the specific filters above to be effected within WP_CONTENT_DIR/db.php

 Adding these filters within the ms_upload_constants function (ms-default-
 constants.php) would add almost no overhead, but would allow systems of
 scale to address the problems within the otherwise static constants.
