I think this is a bug in the "make-relative-filename"
template in chunker.xsl.  xsltproc uses <exsl:document>
and there is a comment there from Norm that says:

<!-- EXSL document does make the chunks relative, I think -->

But xsltproc doesn't, so the template should still add $base.dir.
It works if I change:
          <xsl:value-of select="$base.name"/>
to:
          <xsl:value-of select="concat($base.dir,$base.name)"/>

I'd change it in CVS except I don't know what exsl:document
should be doing and whether xsltproc conforms to it.

No, my fault. I forgot to commit to CVS a change to chunk.xsl
after testing it.  I've checked it in now to
the html stylesheet.  It will get built into the
xhtml set on the next release.

Good question.  It seems to do very little for such
an important sounding name.  I wonder why the
chunk.xsl stylesheet doesn't just set it by default?
