Indeed.  I’ve implemented your suggestion in
e68466de122d94ac3fa75aae234cd5fd89482a5a, and commit
cba0395c99005f94e4ccd6c058362af7443dab12 makes a related adjustment.

Note that we still need to update the ‘guix’ package so you can benefit
from the bug fix.  In the meantime you have to pass that trailing slash.

Thank you, and sorry for the delay!
