I think there's an error in your logic above :)

Using Realurl, you should have, in the head of your page:

<base href="http://domain.tld/subdirectory/" />

Set this up with "config.baseURL=http://domain.tld/subdirectory/" in
your template. Any relative links on the page will be relative _to the
href attribute of the base element_. This leads me to conclude that
the base element is probably missing from the head of your pages--OR,
since you're working in a subdirectory, that the href attribute is
somehow wrong (i.e. missing the subdirectory etc).
