This came up in March, 2012: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2012-03/msg00055.html My opinion that this is not a bug in bash hasn't changed. There are a number of easy ways to remove this trailing slash.

That said I think that either bash should tolerate the trailing slash - will likely be easy as you mentioned above - or the limitation should be documented in bash manual so that no more people burn their time on this unexpected behavior.

Bug when trapping exit from subshell
The following script properly reports the exit code to the calling environment, , but the exit handler is not called if a function triggers the exit vs an external command. Script executed via: bash
Re: Bug when trapping exit from subshell
the exit handler is called, you just muted it. remove the redirections, and you'll also notice you need a space after your !
