Automated triage: Not a bug
Thank you for reporting this issue. A trailing slash on void elements such as meta tags is valid in HTML5. Browsers ignore it, and the validator reports it only as information, not as an error. The validator's caveat applies only to unquoted attribute values, and these tags quote every value, so nothing on the page behaves differently.
This is an automated assessment. A member of staff may review and update it.
