I went in and edited/commented the source at line 232 in mako/template.py
I am sure there is a reason they did this, but for me it works.
u_norm = self.uri
if u_norm.startswith("/"):
u_norm = u_norm[1:]
u_norm = os.path.normpath(u_norm)
#~ if u_norm.startswith(".."):
#~ raise exceptions.TemplateLookupException(
#~ "Template uri \"%s\" is invalid - "
#~ "it cannot be relative outside "
#~ "of the root path." % self.uri)
