Comment:

 Thanks for the report, @rgmenon. Welcome to WordPress Trac!

 This is expected behaviour. The `home` option specifies where the home
 page of your site exists (eg `example.com`) and the `siteurl` option
 specifies where WordPress is installed, which can be in a subdirectory,
 eg. `example.com/wordpress`.

 The terminology used on the General Settings screen was improved years ago
 to improve things for users, but this does mean that the option names
 don't necessarily match the labels used in the admin area.
