One rumored "fix" would be to add an attribute to CFIMPORT to instruct it to wait until run-time to determine the path. This would (if true) just really kill performance for those templates that used it (since I assume they would probably be compiled on demand every time), but it would allow this kind of thing without breaking backward compatibility.
