Comment (by Otto42):

 Additional note: I was playing around with my Synology Diskstation today,
 and noticed that they had not upgraded their WordPress package past 3.4.2
 yet. So I downloaded it and opened up a copy. They have a change to core
 to deal with this for their specific case.

 Essentially, they modified get_home_path() to have this:

 {{{
 if (defined('SYNOWORDPRESS')){
         return csSYNOWordPressMisc::get_home_path($home, $siteurl);
 }
 }}}

 and then they have an extra file loaded in the wp-config which does this:

 {{{
 class csSYNOWordPressMisc {

         static function get_home_path($home, $siteurl) {

                 $root_dir = '/var/services/web';
                 if ( $home != '' && $home != $siteurl ) {
                         $siteDomain = substr($siteurl, 0, -9);
                         $home_path = $root_dir . "/" . substr($home,
 strlen($siteDomain)) . "/";
                 } else {
                         $home_path = ABSPATH;
                 }

                 return $home_path;
         }
 }
 }}}

 This is because of their system design where the location of the WordPress
 install doesn't necessarily correspond to the URL as such. It comes with a
 couple extra plugins to allow them to change the URL of the site without
 moving around the files through some device-specific stuff.

 A constant or something along these lines would probably allow them to use
 the WordPress package without the core change, meaning they could more
 easily stay up-to-date.

 I didn't spot any other core changes, but I haven't done a full compare
 yet.
