I don't think it's very urgent as I only hit it when debugging something else.

This seems to be with Apache's builtin behaviour that if foo is a directory and you ask for '/foo' you immediately get a redirect to '/foo/', and that's interacting somehow with the redirect map.

It's a bit bad that Launchpad gives out redirects to URLs which are then not accepted. (They're not actually 404; they give you a redirection back to the home page which is in some ways more confusing.)
