this is odd...
Indeed!
we did change multisite to no longer use blogs.dir for new installs, but nothing happens on upgrade…
It sure happened to me. Storage Locations were all /wp-content prior to this upgrade. 
is this dev server web accessible?
Yes, but only to site admins. Its currently running a Maintenance Mode plugin. Happy to send you user credentials, and/or cPanel access upon request!
in you wp options table, what is value for upload_path?
Well now this seems odd too...there is no value. See PHP MyAdmin screenshot. Compared to our live site where the upload path is wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files

No.

Yes, It is a newer install I created from scratch when overhauling our theme.
but the base address is now calculated based on what wp thinks it should be…
I am open to any and all suggestions for a remedy. As well and recommendations for avoiding this on the live site when I update that!

okay, here is deal...
your live site is pre wp 3.5... network storage at wp-content/blogs.dir
however, your dev site is post wp 3.5 where network storage location changed... its at wp-content/uploads/sites/
so if you have pulled down partial db vs entire db, you will have issues because of difference... you really need a full db on the dev site...
at least it appears that way... compare your dev to live... look at images (url) on home page and you will see the diff...

how did you get forum to dev site??? looks like data came from live site... but wp did not... bad situation... you can see the effect when wp has different network site storage locations between the two... how would sp know where to get data???? we have wp tell us based on the storage model in effect - which in your case is different...
I would bet the live site works fine - the data is for that site...

Nope. No partial db import. This site was a fresh newer WP install for development purposes, plugin & theme testing, etc. It's not a mirror.

so you installed sp and all its plugins from scratch? did not copy ANY data from sp-resources???
have to think about this some more - this is post wp 3.5 install, but sp using pre wp 3.5 locations... wonder is some oddity not considering there...
but live site likely okay since its pre wp 3.5 with sp using pre wp 3.5...

It was a new install of SimplePress, and set up of just a few forums to confirm theme compatibility.
I would bet the live site works fine – the data is for that site…
Are you suggesting I just go ahead and attempt the update there? Kinda leery of that after what's happened here, and the lack of any confirmed multisite network SP 5.6 update...

did you actually move data after the issue on dev site? or is it all still in blogs.dir?
