That depend on whether the trash is on the same file system as the
directory to trash.  rename-file now refuses to copy directory across
file systems unless the target name ends in a slash.

That means that as dired-do-delete is a wrapper at some level over move-file-to-trash, that slash appending should be done in dired somewhere?
