So you live dangerously if you forget the trailing slash in
default-directory, but you live dangerously if you do add it in
load-path?

What's the benefit of this pickiness?

Unless there's a real performance advantage (which I fail to see), I'd
rather go the other way and be more permissive and fix default-directory
so it also works correctly when it doesn't have a trailing slash.
