 * My problem (and possibly, but certainly not necessarily, the OP’s) was that, 
   in Miscellaneous Settings, ‘Store uploads in this folder’ was set to `wp-content`,
   and not the stated default `wp-content/uploads`.

 * I am having what I imagine is the same problem. When I upload an image WP tells
   me it is placing it in `[root]/wp-content/uploads/[image].jpg`
 * However it instead places it in `[root]/wp-content/[image].jpg`
 * This has been consistent throughout, as I have tried various fixes:
    1.  adding an .htaccess file to the root
        manually adding an ‘uploads’ folder to‘
       wp-content’ via my ftp client setting my permissions to 777
 * Any suggestions short of manually changing the allegedly upload point manually
   each time to the actual folder it seems to be placing the images in?
