I don't know if this supports your conclusion, but Hixie's study found
36,000 pages (out of 100,000,000) that *use* multiple <base> elements,
but it's not known how many of those actually break if you only support
a single base. He mentioned that looking at a smaller subset, it seems
most use absolute URIs and so are unaffected.
If it's absolute or relative doesn't matter. What matters is if they
URIs are different or not, and from what I understood the test showed
that it was 36000 pages with different URIs. So I would guess most of
them break at least to some extent.
