Read the regression test.  In particular:

        /*
         * IEEE 1003.1 second ed. 2.2.2.78:
         *
         *      If the pathname refers to a directory, it may also have
         *      one or more trailing slashes.  Multiple successive slashes
         *      are considered to be the same as one slash.
         */

Since the pathname argument to mkdir(2) and rmdir(2) refer to a directory,
trailing /s must be allowed.
