Indeed, that works, as does trying QFileInfo or QDir on the returned path and 
then using absolutePath.

True, but I think it's unnecessary. That doesn't fix existing code. For anyone 
writing new code, they'll realise the problem right away, so they'll make the 
path absolute or deal with the relative path.

True.

But there's also a converse case: if you renamed the current directory, the 
old code had failed, but now it works.
