As of 60715a3a5c the request path to instance path conversion follows symlinks verbatim, so if the client requests /symlink-to-foo/, the code reads the "symlink-to-foo -> foo" link and accordingly redirects to /foo. This is fine, but requesting /foo will itself need a redirect to get to /foo/, the actual target.

I don't have an idea to fix this right now but maybe we can do something. It just saves a redirect so I'm not super worried about it.

Not relevant now that the symlinks are all handled by the web server.
