This shouldn't matter if the loading process re-interprets it as INTENDED
relative, checks for the existence of a top common path node, creates the new
absolute paths to get access using ordinary (absolute) file URLs, and later
saves everything correctly.

I reported this bug as my very first one more than 10 years ago, and got some
"education" about bug reports. See my comment #4. I never was again afflicted
personally, and also the first time it was only in pursuit of a question in a
forum. ...

The only substantial comment since was #12 by Eike (who should actually know). 

As there weren't many users coming to this bug discussion and claiming urgency
I wouldn't expect immediate action if you change the importance. But: Simply
try.
