Comment (by huzaifaalmesbah):

 After applying [attachment:"46982.2.diff"] to WordPress, `._*` dotfiles
 are no longer executed as MU plugins, which fixes the issue.

 However, `._*` files still appear in the Must-Use Plugins list in the
 admin. Should these also be excluded from the list to avoid confusion,
 since they are not real plugins?
