Files and directories are different things to apache. If there is no
such file called "somedir" in your web root, it is natural to receive a
404. When you add the slash, you are now asking for the default index
file in the directory named "somedir" (or auto-index generation, or
whatever arcane behaviour you may have configured). Because it doesn't
really make sense to just request a directory, either :-)

Yeah I've noticed this too, I think.

Compare the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file on the box that works to the
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf file on the box that doesn't. Use apache docs to
figure out which differences are relevant to the problem. Copy the
changes from the working config to the non-working config. Restart
apache on the target box.
PS: I'm pretty sure a rewrite rule is responsible, so try looking for
that.
