I remember having seen similar issues in the past. URLs are relative to 
the base URL of the document they appear in, so this info needs to be 
preserved during xinclude processing (i.e. xml:base attributes have to 
be added). May be that didn't happen ?
I'm not sure this is an issue with docbook. It may be with your xslt 
processor.
