Comment:

 @dsquared, @billslawski,

 Do you see this issue with links generated by WP itself or by Twenty Ten?

 As far as I know, the functions for generating a home URL do not append
 the trailing slash automatically, which can lead to the 301 issue when WP
 resides in a subdirectory.  But the trailing slash can be specified.  The
 recommended function to show the home URL is {{{home_url()}}}, which in
 Twenty Ten and in core is used like this:

 {{{home_url('/')}}}

 There is also {{{get_home_url()}}}, which can be used like this:

 {{{get_home_url('', '/')}}}

 I am not sure this is the most intuitive way, but it is more or less
 standard in core and it works as it supposed to.
