Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I appreciate the quality of this bug report and I'm sure it'll be helpful to others to find this discussion if they are experiencing the same issue.
This sounds like an upstream bug to me. I have checked the latest upstream and there isn't a new option around that topic available that Ubuntu could add. The best route to getting it fixed in Ubuntu in this case would be to file an upstream bug if you're able to do that. Otherwise, I'm not sure what we can do directly in Ubuntu to fix the problem. If you do end up filing an upstream bug/discussion, please link to it from here.

I'd expected: 172.18.1: grub/i386-pc/core.0 (file found within /data/tftp -- without exposing path) 172.18.2: pxelinux.0 (file found within /data/tftp -- without exposing path) 172.18.3: /pxelinux.0 (file found within /) 172.18.7: /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 (file found within /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0) or even better: some way to set tftp-root for every subnet-config and having only relative paths to access files regardless of giving absolute or relative paths.
