Comment:

 So it looks like the main problem was simply the trailing slash not
 getting applied correctly.  The fix was just a couple of lines in wp-
 includes/canonical.php (attached).

 I've accepted the fact that there isn't an easy way to redirect to the
 last comment page when you manually enter a page number that's too high.
 At the time of URL canonicalization, we simply don't know how many
 comments are going to be displayed on a page, so we don't know how many
 page numbers there will be.

 The patch file also includes one other small change to wp-includes/link-
 template.php... the "Older Comments" and "Newer Comments" links weren't
 respecting whether the user wants trailing slashes on their permalinks.
 This was causing an additional redirect when returning to the first
 comment page, thereby losing the "#comments" fragment on the request.
