 I believe you can reproduce this by requesting any non-existant file from
 a theme folder in a sub folder install

 {{{ http://example.com/subsite/wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/image-that-
 does-not-exist.jpg }}}

 > When this is fixed, we should also do a make/core post with the changes
 since this will only change the rewrite rules for new sites.

 This change would only affect new installs. .htaccess is not updated on WP
 updates.
