It would make sense to run the process starting from the path of the
compiling org document (in Stig’s example from the Org folder).  AFAIK
this is what AUCTeX does (modulus the value of TeX-master) and I think the
build in TeX compiler as well.

I also agree that the best way would be to change the meaning of %f.
