I'm not entirely sure (we extracted the code from Project way back
IIRC). On problem I can imagine is that of relative paths that go up
beyond "", something like normalize("../../foo").

No, most invocations of normalize happen from resolveFile, so you
already know which absolute directory to resolve against. ${user.dir}
is almost always wrong for Ant's own usage.
