Something doesn't add up here. The behaviour you've described is, as
far as I can tell, impossible given the code you've provided:

-- Base element is present and correct: <base href="http://domain.tld/foo/" />
-- Current page: http://domain.tld/foo/bar/lorem.html
-- LInk: <a href="bar/ipsum.html">LInk</a>

Clicking the link above _should_ take you to
http://domain.tld/foo/bar/ipsum.html--mouse over the link; what does
it say in the status bar? The whole _point_ of using the base element
[1] is that it makes relative links _relative to the base url_ (i.e.
and not to the current page!)

Any chance of just creating a page that shows the problem behaviour
for us to look at?
