 Replying to [comment:22 wpmuguru]:
 > Can anyone reproduce this in an install with no plugins and sites that
 are created with the Network Admin -> Add Site screen ?

 I've just done so with 3.5.1. This was a clean install from a tarball with
 no plugins and no other users. After adding the new site via Add Site I
 immediately loaded it and clicked on the "Uncategorized" category, which
 returned the "this is embarrassing" message. I believe this happens
 because populate_options() is bringing over the rewrite_rules option from
 the main site which includes all the blog/etc rules (appropriate for the
 main site but useless in a subdirectory instance). One method I've found
 to fix this is to reset the rewrite_rules option immediately after
 populate_options is done (in the wpmu_create_blog function):


 {{{
 update_option( 'rewrite_rules', array() );
 }}}

 That way the proper rewrite rules get generated on first visit. Hope this
 helps.
