 So I think the body of [compat_mkdir] can become something like:

   if (len && dir[len-1] == '/')
       dir = tmp_dir = xstrndup(dir, len-1);

Don't use x* wrappers in the compat layer, at least not those that allocate
memory: They behave unpredictably due to try_to_free_routine and may lead
to recursive invocations.

I was just following orders ;-)
What about the other proposal, xmemdupz? Same story I guess?
