This seems like mostly a matter of convenience. In the apply patch dialog, it is trivial to set
the "Ignore leading path segments" option to strip off the directory up to the working copy
directory.
It would be ideal IMO to generate the patch relative to the sandbox, but if that is not possible,
at least there is no real loss of functionality.
