I love how small code-wise these changes are for such functional
differences. nginx is a technical marvel - so much functionality with
such little code!

I will try out this patch, but I am curious - why isn't my existing
method using the plain old /wordpress/wp-admin.* regex an acceptable
workaround (until this "bug" as you've said is fixed) - or is this
patch the "fix" for that behavior, if it works?
