Older question but here's how I solved the problem with a WCF4 REST service (using the RouteTable in Global.asax to add ServiceRoutes).

I used a rewrite rule in the service's web.config file to add a "/" if needed. It always matches the path then checks the original URI ({REQUEST_URI}) to see if it contains a path without a trailing "/".
