"File not found" in admin area after upgrade from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2

Description

After upgrading Wordpress from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2, my blog's admin area became inaccessible.

Requests for any page inside wp-admin resulted in "File not found". In the server logs, I saw 'FastCGI sent in stderr: "Primary script unknown"'. Wordpress content pages were served normally.

Server configuration was not changed as part of this upgrade.

After reverting the upgrade, the admin area became accessible again. I repeated the upgrade, and it failed a second time.

Can you provide any additional details?

What are the file permissions of wp-admin/index.php and wp-login.php compared with index.php?

Are you performing a manual upgrade (FTP/SCP) or an automatic upgrade?

Replying to bpetty:

What are the file permissions of wp-admin/index.php and wp-login.php compared with index.php?

$ ll wp-admin/index.php wp-login.php 
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data admin  6436 Dec 14  2012 wp-admin/index.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data admin 29310 Jun 23 01:00 wp-login.php

Are you performing a manual upgrade (FTP/SCP) or an automatic upgrade?

Automatic, from within the application.

When I log in, I get a 302 to /wp-admin/. This in turn gives me a 302 to /wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2F.

In fact, any requests to /wp-admin/anything.php are redirected to /wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fanything.php

/wp-admin/upgrade.php is a 404, with the error described above in the logs.

This sounds like a server issue, and not something WP did or could fix. wp-admin/upgrade.php should exist — check?

I second it being a server configuration.
Please re-open if you can provide the exact circumstances for someone else to trigger it.
