Right, --proto_path should always point at the "root" of your source tree, and all imports should be fully-qualified.
Probably the documentation for "import" in the language guide should include a bit more text on this, as it comes up a lot. If you file a bug I'll update it when I get time. Thanks for offering to help, BTW. Unfortunately our documentation is not in a repository that can easily be edited from the outside.
