I guess we cannot change that, as it has been like that for ages and is 
even documented to do that ("relative to host"). Imagine someone using 
it to get the a redirect to some other page that isn't really 
typo3-related, but relative to the document-root of the webserver. It 
won't work anymore. The caller had to prefix the current 
TYPO3-installation path before calling.

So if you need / want this functionality, it either has be a different 
function, or it has to ask especifically for it in a new (optional) 
boolean parameter.

Either way it is a new feature and it won't go into 4.2.

Cheers,
