Comment:

 Looking at the support ticket that @Ipstenu is referencing

 > In network admin > sites > edit site > info
 > The second line is Path. There was nothing in the field for this site.
 For all sites working properly, there was a forward slash like so: /

 This field doesn't exist anymore.

 Going back to 3.9 there was this field https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/blob/3.9.0/src/wp-admin/network/site-info.php

 This field was removed in 4.3, [32759]

 It's true that if we manually remove nowadays the Path, it will break. We
 have to do this through database though, it's not straightforward to
 accomplish this (and undesirable to do so)

 With the
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/28273/28273-alternate.patch
 patch provided], the main site works, but when accessing Network Sites, it
 goes in a canonical loop

 This report is weird because it has a modification date of 6 years ago,
 despite there has not been more discussion for 10 years. Probably a spam
 comment that was removed and altered the modification time.

 For all these reasons, I would say that this has been already fixed,
 indirectly; hence I think it's safe to close this ticket now, as fixed:
 `worksforme`
