I don't get what you mean by "a served file or a wiki". Isn't there a world 
of difference between the two? 

And why couldn't it be the other way around -- have the "file/" prefix 
associated with the Wikis, while the served files can have any prefix (but 
only served from below the file root path). Having the prefix on the Wiki 
name would not cause the consternation that having it on the image path 
name.

As it is, the image paths for Bob will be totally incompatible with 
standalone, TiddlyDesktop, and tiddlyserver file paths.
