Indeed you did.

Ultimately Dieter's right, though he wasn't being very clear.  

A "trivial" URL *should* contain ../ when it references URLs above the
current document.  If you don't use that, you're *requesting* the higher
folder in the context of the lower one... Zope can hardly be blamed for
giving you what you ask for.

Use ../ for upward-bound URLs and everything should work out fine.  Or
you could always stick to absolute URLs... those are always safe.

FWIW,
