OK.

Hmm, I have impression that the output of `TeX-master-output-dir' is
actually used in buffers with `default-directory' set to master
directory (e.g. process buffer). Thus I expect that it's only necessary
for `TeX-master-output-dir' to output path relative to master directory.
Are you saying that isn't the case? If so, isn't it possible to modify
those usage in align with the above expectation?
