There is not much we can do about it if one is using a temp dir.
Actually, we could make it work for the case of not using includes and
not using subdirs for images (a reasonably common case), but is it
worth the effort?

So you mean you are really willing to know what this code does? You're
not afraid? I'll let you think more about it during the day and if
don't chicken out I will try to write something about it this evening.
It will be difficult to have multiple includes (bug 605, for example),
html exports (bug 643) and things like this one to work.
