Comment (by swissspidy):

 Hey there, thanks for your report!

 This was introduced in [36254], see #29107.

 The line in question was changed to `update_option( 'rewrite_rules', ''
 );` on purpose. That function should flush the rewrite rules. Passing
 `$this->rules` instead of an empty string would prevent that.

 > Some of my websites had the permalinks broken after upgrading to 4.5.

 Can you elaborate a bit? What exactly was broken? Was there any error
 message? Something in the log files? Can you reproduce it on another site
 without any plugins active?
