 Replying to [comment:3 Ipstenu]:
 > 2) .htaccess redirect that site's /files/ since it ''should'' be the
 only one that has that issue (everyone else is 3.5 native)

 This is key and is similar to moving other types of sites into a WordPress
 environment.

 I think having it
 [https://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite
 documented in the codex] is the right solution here rather than attempting
 to detect and provide an automatic fix in core.

 `RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?siteN/files/(.+) wp-
 content/blogs.dir/N/files/$2 [L]`.
