It isn't trying to be that smart.  If you want a site-absolute value, 
you can
prefix the bit you embed in the tag with '/'.  Other URLs (with colons) are
slightly buggy.  For instance, this works for me:

   This is a test of the "image
    embedding":img:http://www.zope.org/

except that STX insists that it must label the thing "Figure http".
I think the trunk is already fixed to deal with this problem.
