Comment (by jnylen0):

 Under other permalink structures, it looks like this change will still fix
 things without breaking other things.

 === Plain permalinks

 The console sends `/?rest_route=//wp/v2/posts` which fails unless this
 change is made.

 === PATHINFO permalinks

 Permalink structure: `/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/`

 The console sends `/index.php/wp-json//wp/v2/posts` which works fine
 either way.

 The `rest_route` query var is correctly `/wp/v2/posts` before this change;
 I'm not sure if this is because of my server or WP internals.
