No.

The trailing slash is not removed in the final result, as the code
does this:

      (if (memq (aref filename (1- flen)) '(?/ ?\\))
	  (concat (convert-standard-filename
		   (substring filename 0 (1- flen)))
		  "/")

As you see, the trailing slash is put back into what the recursive
invocation returns.

As for replacing the leading dot, that's one of the aspects of making
the file name compatible with the 8+3 limitations: a leading dot is
not allowed.
