In fact I have a solution here in my sandbox, I'm just making it a little more robust before committing. The problem isn't with prepending '/', but with path normalisation - which got removed because it caused problems, but is now causing problems :[. I'm putting a workaround in place for the released setup, and a different, better solution for HEAD... but one that will temporarily break other stuff so isn't appropriate for release.
