Comment (by Ipstenu):

 * The entire install is a network install with a network admin: WP-
 admin/network
 * Each site has a front: example.com and sub,example.com
 * And an admin: example.com/WP-admin

 But the network does not have a public front facing aspect, hence there is
 no 'network site' that one is directed to.

 Moving on.

 By default, the main site doesn't need to be accessible to log in, because
 WordPress redirects you to YOUR site if you try to log in to it and don't
 have an account there.

 If that's not happening on your install, there's the problem. But I did
 just build a brand new install to test that on and the results on a clean
 install were clear. WP properly redirects. This sounds a lot like your
 configuration broke default behavior so now... what did you do? :)

 Try it on a CLEAN install. Then we can start adding min your features to
 see where this broke and why. Because WP does know your primary site
 already and should be redirecting you.
