Comment:

 I can demonstrate this behaviour on six different sites, which are hosted
 on four different servers, and which use several different themes. I can
 provide URLs if necessary.

 I've reopened this ticket because it still looks like a real problem to
 me, and I'm not the only person seeing it. Note that the problem persists
 in Wordpress 4.3.

 Is there some other information I can provide, such as logs, server
 configuration, or other diagnostics, that might help to track down the
 source of this problem?

 I've tried disabling all plugins that might affect URL handling, but that
 made no difference. I'm willing to consider the possibility that it's a
 server configuration issue, but it would be helpful to have some idea what
 to look for.
