 When updating WP 3.7.1 to 3.8 on a WP install that is located in a
 subdirectory (using the "Giving WordPress Its Own Directory" method),
 after the update, the browser forwards to a non-existing URL which causes
 a 404 error.

 In this configuration, in the wp-config file, WP_SITEURL is set to
 example.com/wp and WP_HOME to example.com.

 The update is triggered from the admin area located at example.com/wp/wp-
 admin/update-core.php

 When the update finishes, instead of forwarding to example.com/wp/wp-
 admin/about.php?updated, it sends the user to example.com/wp-
 admin/about.php?updated. Because of the missing subdirectory, this
 displays a 404 error.

 Upon returning to the dashboard, the user will notice that the update has
 been correctly applied, but he won't ever see the "Welcome to 3.8" page.
