Look at the description in TSref:
-------------
If this value is set, then all relative links in TypoScript are 
prepended with this string. Used to convert relative paths to absolute 
paths.

Note: This values is automatically set to the dirname of the index.php 
script in case simulateStaticDocuments is set to "PATH_INFO".

If you're working on a server where you have both internal and external 
access, you might do yourself a favor and set the absRefPrefix to the 
url and path of you site, e.g. http://www.typo3.com/. If you do not, you 
risk to render pages to cache from the internal network and thereby 
prefix image-references and links with a non-accessible path from outside.

This actually suggests to use the host name in the setting. Seems like 
the OP did find a bug...
