To answer my own question, I found that the following patch
solves the problem. I cannot understand why it would be necessary
to set the relative font size explicitly to zero. The only case
it's not zero is when the user explicitly requested it to be non-zero,
right?
Also included is a patch corresponding to the updated example file.
