I'd say both: especially when they're inconsistent.

load-path is a user-level variable. Changing package.el behavior is
fine, but if we document load-path to only have "directory name"
elements, some code might decide to rely on it.
Not sure if it's plausible to write code that would work on elements
without trailing slash but wouldn't work without, but if it is, that's a
more in the wrong direction, IMHO.
