That feature is due to Taco.
In TL 2010, synctex didn't work if one used --output-directory=foo.
Taco changed the way to write file names in order to support
synctex also in this case. Namely file names are always written by
full path. The sipmlest and robust way must be not to distinguish
various input names such as foo, ./foo, ../foo ... as Taco
adopted. Therefore if kpse_absolute_p(fullnameoffile, false) returns
false, the name is always written as
xgetcwd()/fullnameoffile.

Best,
Akira
