My guess is that "https://gnu.org/" should be the default directory in
this case.  For instance:

  M-x browse-url-emacs RET https://gnu.org/index.html
  C-h v default-directory
  https://gnu.org/

Which looks correct to me, so I'd say that the issue is that the
trailing / is omitted.

Cheers,
Nico
