Aah now THAT makes sense. Now I see why you would do that.
Well if you are worried you could always just write a rewrite rule. Off the top of my head (so probably not working) but just to give you an idea:
Code:
Rewriterule ^(.*)/index /$1 [R=301,L]
It should be something like 'redirect all url's which end with /index to the same url without index'.
