Thanks for the report and for providing a detailed explanation with a
patch!

I have a few comments.

First, minor one: please put two spaces between sentences in the commit
message. It is our convention.

> -         (output (expand-file-name (concat (file-name-base source) "." ext)
> -                                   (file-name-directory source)))

> +                                   (concat (file-name-base source) "." ext)))

`file-name-concat' is only available since Emacs 28.
Please use `org-file-name-concat'.

> -			     (?f . ,(shell-quote-argument relative-name))
> +			     (?f . ,(shell-quote-argument source))

This will break user expectations.
The PROCESS argument can, for example, be `org-latex-pdf-process', which
promises that "%f in the command will be replaced by the relative file
name" (see the docstring).
