I'm using the changes for a few days now. They are tested.

Requiring the paths to end in a separator is fragile. Note that the
changes I made are not unrelated, they are simply the functions that
use the functions that cause the problem.

It sure is the shortest change. However I claim my version is more
robust against future changes. Using concat to construct paths is
wrong. Maybe because this is 5.8.x using the minimal change is good,
but I propose doing my change in any new development branch at least.
