What about '/refs/heads/foo'?  Shouldn't that drop the leading /?

I actually had someone enter that into Gerrit Code Review once,
exposing a bug I have yet to fix that permits that as a valid
branch name.  *sigh*

FWIW, I think this is heading in the right direction.  Rather
than teaching the UIs how clean up a name, give us a tool to
do the normalization and validation, and let us call it when
we get user input.
