Based on this, and on a lot of back-burner pondering, I'm now thinking 
that the proper fix for this is the one you suggest.  It makes sense for 
the relative version of the absolute path to omit BASE1, the URL of the 
virtual root, returning the semantics of absolute_path(1) to "path 
relative to the virtual root".  Use cases that need a hostname-relative 
URL can use BASEPATH1 + absolute_url(1).
