I just "discovered" this same issue. That will teach me to read the issues and not just blindly assume all is well ;-). I discovered mine when using this code to decode a REAL JWT returned from Azure ID services. The header segment of the JWT needs to be decoded to get the "kid" value to get the correct public key certificate from microsoft for subsequent verification of the JWT. The value returned in my case turns out to be a multiple of 4 so it provides the redundant padding. as above. My fix was slightly different but has the same effect:

public string function convertToBase64( required string input ) {
	input = replace( input, "-", "+", "all" );
	input = replace( input, "_", "/", "all" );
	var paddingLength = ( 4 - ( len( input ) % 4 ) );
	if (paddingLength EQ 4) {
                  paddingLength = 0;
            }
	return( input & repeatString( "=", paddingLength ) );
   }

Now that I look at it, I like the following even better:

public string function convertToBase64( required string input ) {
	input = replace( input, "-", "+", "all" );
	input = replace( input, "_", "/", "all" );
   // if the input is a multiple of 4, no padding is needed. Simply return it.
           if (len(input) % 4 EQ 0)  {
              return input;
           }
   // otherwise pad the input with "=" until it is a multiple of four.
	var paddingLength = ( 4 - ( len( input ) % 4 ) );
	return( input & repeatString( "=", paddingLength ) );
}
