FWIW, this simply reflects what `load' does, so changing it in
`locate-library' would mean that it doesn't do what `load' does, which
I would count as a bug.
The main issue I see is that `load' includes a `must-suffix' argument
which provides the behavior you're looking for (and which is used by
`require') whereas locate-library doesn't provide it.

IIUC the problem you had was with `load' rather than with
`locate-library', so I think what this boils down to is that the `load'
that looks for `trump' should be changed to provide `must-suffix'.
WDYT?
