Personally, I would have appreciated a thank-you; just a suggestion; one of
those little things that makes life flow -much- more sweetly.

The relative reference is expressed consistently with reference to the top left
hand corner of the range you're currently inside - at least with regard to the
CF dialog launched from the Manage range dialog. The idea of a special case for
when a cell is selected inside the range is (IMHO) not at all intuitive there.

With regard to the standard conditional format dialog though as Mario says the
way it currently behaves is really not ideal - it that looks very bug prone to
me - with people tempted to re-format single cells inside existing ranges in
odd ways that are hard to see etc. Fixing that with an add button is (IIRC) in
mind for 3.7 but I suspect will not happen for 3.6.

On the other hand, restoring the flow you mention to that way might work - if
you play with some hacking around a partial reversion of commit:
9edb6ba992ad2ef092996903d775df5313613bee you might have some luck and come up
with a patch.

But please - make my life easier by asking for changes more pleasantly.

Thanks !
