  Hum, multiple output is not part of the XSLT spec. So to start
there is no "compliance breakage". Second try with xtchunk.xsl it
received more testing. Third also instruct xsltproc where you want to
output the stylesheets. For example "make" in tests/docbook does:

  ../../xsltproc/xsltproc -o ./result/xtchunk/html/gdp-handbook ./html/xtchunk.xsl ./test/gdp-handbook.xml

 Then the URI reference can be computed from a firm values which is
the output/index.html . This with xtchunk is part of libxslt regression tests.

  Last but not least, the bug used to be in Norms stylesheets under:
     html/chunker.xsl
        <xsl:template name="make-relative-filename">

  which was doing 
    <xsl:variable name="vendor" select="system-property('xsl:vendor')"/>
    if (vendor == SAXON)
    if (vendor == Apache)
    else
    ... doesn't work

 I would check that function in the stylesheets you're using to see how
it had been fixed, this may explain why $base.dir is not used at all
when processing with XSLT. In that case send a mail to Norm and cc' me :-)
