FM treats paths as relative _unless_ they traverse the root directory of
a drive. 

So, this results in absolute paths because the relative path between
them traverses \: 

\foo\insetsource.fm
\bar\insetdestination.fm 

This does not because the relative path between them traverses
commondir: 

\commondir\foo\insetsource.fm
\commondir\bar\insetdestination.fm 

HTH!
