I've now done a little digging:
The 'file' keys of the %misc_page_infos hash (line 6956 of texi2html.pl) uses 
the file name relative to the .texi file and unfortunately that path is used 
later on in the call to file_target_href. Since that function assumes that 
the path passed as argument is relative to the output file, things fail as 
soon as the output is placed in a subdirectory.

All other calls to file_target_href use the file name relative to the output 
directory, only the header navigation buttons on the special pages pass the 
path relative to the input file.

I see two possible solutions:
1) Add a 'relative_file' key to %misc_page_infos, which specifies the file 
name relative to the output file, and use that key in the call to 
file_target_href rather than the actual file path relative to the input file. 
That's the easy hack, patch is attached.
2) Extend file_target_href so that it compares the orig and dest pathes and 
turns the dest path into a relative path. I couldn't find a function in 
texi2html to do this, so I didn't implement a patch for this.

Cheers,
Reinhold
