I have installed Pathauto which translates URLs by following pattern:
node/[node:nid]/[node:title]

The reason for that is to make Google happy and
secondly if user changes title (which happens often)
then there would be fallback to the node nevertheless
and the node would not become unaccessible due to title change.

For example I have canonical URL for node:
http://www.example.dom/en/node/1234/my-node-title

Though using Global Redirect this node becomes available for variations like:

http://www.example.dom/en/node/1234/my-node
http://www.example.dom/en/node/1234/my
http://www.example.dom/en/node/1234/blah
http://www.example.dom/en/node/1234/blah-ljsafdasdkfhkasdjfk

Etc

@ragnarkurm I'm not sure this is a global redirect problem. Drupal will make a best effort attempt to locate your content, so you can often add extra components to the url without affecting Drupal.

In this case 'blah-ljsafdasdkfhkasdjfk' is being ignored, and Drupal is loading the base language url for the node: http://www.example.dom/en/node/1234

Can you confirm this by disabling global redirect temporarily and seeing if the same issue occurs?
