Details

If a subdirectory is described as incomplete URL in href= tag , the current subdirectory level is skipped 
when the link is interpreted by the browser.
ex.
If HTML file (URL=http://www.hoo.com/HTML/index.html) has a link expressed as href=sub1/index.html, 
Mozilla interpretes the link as http://www.hoo.com/sub1/index.html instead of http://www.hoo.com/
HTML/sub1/index.html 

This is in M18 0809 build.

This seems like a dup of 48200.  The bug is still present in the build of 2000-
08-14-12 M18 for MacOS

The bug seems to have been fixed in M18 2000-081504 for Mac OS.  Works for me now.

wrong! The bug is still present in 2000-081504.  The browser inserts the thrash 
to the base URL when the page is visited by back button, in which case the 
relative URL works correctly.  Otherwise, the bug shows itself.    

Verified dupe of fixed bug 48200: "Incorrect base URL used on redirected pages"
Please, tell me if it still doesn't work for you.
