Hmm... I can see that this works. Having read the documentation so
slavishly I assumed it would be needed. From the Known Issues in 1.1.2:

"The relative conversion will not affect \transpose, \chordmode or
\relative sections in its argument. To use relative mode within
transposed music, an additional \relative must be placed inside
\transpose."

This isn't absolute (PNI) then?
