I reproduced this. When I doubled the backslash before "relative", it
worked. The argument to @warning contains a backslash, which is an
active character. This is the case even though it's nested within the
argument to another command.

According to the Texinfo manual, " If a macro invocation includes
another command (including a recursive invocation of itself), any
commas in the nested command invocation(s) are quoted by default."
Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to extend to backslashes.

\ would have to be set as non-active before reading the argument for
@code, and switched back afterwards.
