It may or may not be, but I'd suggest first to have a reproducible
recipe that demonstrates the problem.  Because I don't think I
understand what this is trying to solve.

In any case, testing the last character for a literal slash is not
TRT; we have functions for distinguishing between a file's name as
directory and the directory's file name.
