Comment (by Otto42):

 This is because most feed readers have no certain way to resolve a
 relative reference to the correct webpage. Some feedreaders can be smart
 about it, most can't.

 The short of it is that you should really always use absolute references,
 but there's nothing forcing you to do so. This is not really a solvable
 problem from Wordpress's perspective. Bad stuff in posts = bad stuff in
 feeds.
