I guess this is a small historical contingency. We might indeed allow
relative filenames when `org-agenda-files' is a list.
I agree and would welcome a patch for this.
Changing this behavior is going to be a significant one as far as
the current users are concerned. I started working towards a patch
for this and now I am thinking how not to break existing
functionality. Or should we force everyone to be relative to org-
directory?
Hmm, indeed, it might not be as simple, because there are a number of
commands
that manipulate these files.
Let's not do this for now - it needs a careful look.

Here is the simple patch which straight away expands the file names
with org-directory.
* org.el:
+ org-expand-file-list ()
Expand the list of agenda files in "org-agenda-files" with "org-
directory" as base directory.
+ org-agenda-files ()
Call org-expand-file-list() if "org-agenda-files" is a list.
Thanks and Regards
