Each time I upgrade, I unzip the archive to a new directory and copy over the images and extensions. So I've been using the "core" version of Vector for a while. That said, commenting out the line with wfLoadSkin('Vector') still generates the following error:

I'm not modifying $wgBaseDirectory anywhere in my LocalSettings.php, so I don't see why it would be generating this error. (Note that all of the files in the stack trace are MediaWiki internal files.)
Yeah, we are at this point, too. We experience the error but don't know how to proceed.
I'm backing out of the MW 1.38 upgrade now. We can't proceed until the Foundation fixes something.
