It's a problelm with the URLpatterns for the admin interface. Django assumes that the primary key can be used as part of the URL when redirecting to the view page after editing; if you have '/' in your URL, the URLpatterns for the admin application get confused, so you get a 404. This is an edge case bug, but one reporting anyway. Please open a ticket.
