Dear all,
I have the same issue, but with one remark:
In my sitemap, there are indeed trailing-slashes, e.g.:
https://www.huizje.nl/blog/vakantie-in-italie/
(view: https://www.huizje.nl/blog/sitemap.xml)
However, if I look in the google webmaster-tools for the crawl results, he indeed states that he cannot find it, but I found that Google adds an extra index.html behind the trailing slash:
https://www.huizje.nl/blog/vakantie-in-italie/index.html. And of course, Google is not able to find this page.
Indeed strange that this issue isn’t tackled before…
