Comment (by lllor):

 I confirm the issue.

 In short, when accessing the website using the index.php in the root
 folder (it happens only when visiting the homepage) the
 {{{
 $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']
 }}}
  is loaded with the root folderpath and the subsequent string processing
 performed by get_home_page is not executed correctly. As a workaround, the
 .htaccess should redirect even the / url to the subdirectory/index.php
