Most UNIX tools interpret relative paths as relative to the current working directory.
I'd be surprised if productbuild doesn't do the same. If it doesn't, it's a bug and should be reported.
A big exception is /usr/bin/defaults, which does not "do" relative paths. But that is because `default` really operates on preference domains, and not files.
