This bug doesn't seem to exist in 5.2.x.
I found it's not just a trailing slash but anything after an existing
file path.
I found an easy way to show this bug:
error_reporting( E_ALL | E_STRICT );
var_dump( file_exists( __FILE__ ) );
var_dump( file_exists( __FILE__."/something_that_doesnt_exists" ) );
ini_set( "open_basedir", dirname( __FILE__ ) );
var_dump( file_exists( __FILE__ ) );
var_dump( file_exists( __FILE__."/something_that_doesnt_exists" ) );

Description:
------------
When using open_basedir as a prefix, attempting to access files or
directories which match the prefix but are not present on the filesystem
raise open_basedir restriction warnings.
Reproduce code:
---------------
// create files or directories on the file system "/foo1", "/foo2"
// add "/foo" (not "/foo/") to the open basedir restriction, then:
var_dump(file_exists('/foo1'));
var_dump(file_exists('/foo2'));
var_dump(file_exists('/foo3'));
Expected result:
----------------
this is the output returned:
bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(false)
which is expected, however, the "false" returned by the third call is
disingenuous... it is false because the call is being blocked by
open_basedir, and the following warning is triggered:
[Fri May 2 17:33:05 2008] [error] PHP Warning: file_exists():
open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/foo3) is not within the
allowed path(s)
