That's intentional and required behavior for the concept of minimal
URL's:
http://routes.groovie.org/manual.html#minimum-urls
Consider the example there, if your page assumes its 2 levels deep,
but you have defaults, then you can get a URL that even if it had a
trailing /, wouldn't be in the right directory that you had assumed.
url_for and Routes has the concept of Route memory to avoid the need
for relative URL's entirely. Ie, if you're at /content/view/4 and
need to link to '3', you can just do url_for(id=3). This is assuming
the example shown at the minimum-url's bit.
If you really want to use relative links, don't provide defaults for
dynamic parts present in the URL. That's the only real way you can
guarantee the URL will be in the right directory. Ie, if you change
your map.connect statement to:
map.connect("glossary", "/glossary/:page", controller="main",
action="glossary")
Then all your URL's will definitely have the /glossary/ section, and
the shortest valid URL will be /glossary/index.

I thought a recent Paste fixed this.. Ian?
