Hmmm, I think I might have fixed it...but I don't get how. I've added error-pages to my web.xml which catches 404 and 500 errors and returns an appropriate error page (via http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/config/webxml.html#Error_Handlers). After I fixed and deployed that, the previous URLs that didn't work (i.e. www.examples.com/about) all of a sudden started to redirect properly (i.e. to www.examples.com/about/). Weird. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but this seems to be a non-issue now. Anyways, false alarm...I guess :p
