 TinyMCE has a feature that auto-converts relative links to absolute ones.
 This is a good thing for WordPress, since anybody using non-default
 permalinks needs this feature for their links to work.

 The problem is that TinyMCE in 2.5 is converting all the relative links as
 if they are in the wp-admin path. This is breaking image insertion as
 well, for some people.

 The root cause is the lack of a defined "document_base_url" setting. When
 TinyMCE cannot find one, it uses the current url of the page it's in,
 which happens to be the write page in wp-admin.

 Possible, but untested, fix is to add this to the tiny-mce-config.php
 file:
 {{{
 'document_base_url' => get_option('url'),
 }}}

 This should set the site root as the correct base and allow it to convert
 the relative links correctly, as the user would expect it to convert them.
