 Here is the description from Kenneth:

 I have built an editor for the OGR provider in my MapStudio OS project.
 I noticed that the OGR provider does not accept the %MG_DATA_FILE_PATH%
 parameter but does accept another path.
 After digging around, I found out that OGR rejects directories as
 datasources, if they have a trailing slash.
 This prevents using the entire repository storage as a datasource, so I
 made a small patch that removes a trailing slash, if any.

 There should be no compatibility issuses, as none of the other types of
 connectionstrings are likely to end with a backslash.
