 Replying to [comment:5 fgirardey]:
 > The only case it is broken is when you install a single instance of
 WordPress with defined '''WP_HOME''' and '''WP_SITEURL''' and then you
 install a network.

 That does seem like a bug. I didn't track that was the original issue
 being reported.

 Some code links:
 The options are populated by `populate_options`, including both home/site
 URL by `wp_guess_url`, here:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.3.1/src/wp-
 admin/includes/schema.php#L347

 `wp_guess_url` uses only the siteurl constant, here:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.3.1/src/wp-
 includes/functions.php#L3806

 With the exception of this case, `wp_guess_url` is only used in the
 context of needing the `site_url`, so what about a check for the constant
 in `populate_options`?
