I wonder if the web server is doing the same thing? Trying to append a slash to the URL in order to access the directory index file.

Don't know if this is helpful, but if you're redirects are simple enough, you could try doing an HTML based redirection. So, if the web server is fooling with your URLs, the HTML should be passed back to the browser untouched and the browser will perform it's own redirect.
