Rather strange. It should be exactly opposite. Are these projects 
created with an older Qgis version? If I remember correctly, absolute 
paths were default until Qgis 1.7.3.

What happens if you change the properties entry to "absolute"?
You can look into the project file with a text editor and look for 
<datasource> tags.
