I have read and re-read that section a couple of times and I don't think 
there is any obvious explanation that would explain the text.

I find the first part of the sentence puzzling, why mention that 
absolute-paths don't reference files inside the package? We already said 
that.

Thanks for the close reading!

We are in the process of setting up a more systematic way to track 
issues in addition to the errata document, etc.

Hope you are having a great day!
