The difference happens at this line:

        +_path_files:463> compfiles -p tmp1 accex / ' ' '' fake '*'

when xxx/ is empty, this assigns nothing to tmp1 for x/, but when it
is non-empty this assigns xxx/foo to tmp1.

My guess is that this comes down to the cf_pats() function, but I
haven't traced through the C code in detail.
