 > This breaks the network admin, looks like, which operates from the root.

 If you have home != siteurl and update to WordPress, we designed it (in
 part at my urging to keep the feature to rewrites only) to keep the
 existing /wordpress/wp-admin/ URLs for the main site. But, this paradigm
 breaks the entire network admin, which forces itself to be
 $current_site->domain + $current_site->path.

 I am not sure if these two things are reconcilable. We'd basically need to
 force a new login for the network admin.

 The only alternative would be to relax the cookie security for these
 networks, down to what subdirectory installs already do. It isn't ideal,
 but it seems to work and is the least-impact change. (It also would only
 affect new networks.)
