EType reference of EReference serialization problem [message #528639]

The EType reference of EReferences to the owned EClasses of an Ecore model we generate with Xtend/MWE do not look right in the serialized .ecore file:

<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="viAssignFields" eType="ecore:EClass ../Proto.druid.konto/src-gen/HicPackages.ecore#//Root_Assign Fields " containment="true"/>

For the EType reference I would have expected eType="#//Root_AssignFields". Any ideas what we might be doing wrong?

Workflow snippet:

...
<property name="modelFile" value=" ../../runtime-EclipseApplication/org.example.FilterHic/HicFi lter.filter "/>
<property name='modelFileTransformed' value='../Proto.druid.konto/src-gen/HicPackages.ecore'/>

...
<component class="org.eclipse.xtext.MweReader" uri="${modelFile}">

<register class="org.example.druid.filter.FilterDslStandaloneSetup"/ >
<validate value="${validateModel}"/>
<outputSlot value="theModel" />
</component>

<component class="org.eclipse.xtend.XtendComponent">
<metaModel class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfRegistryMetaModel "/>
<metaModel class=" org.eclipse.internal.xtend.type.impl.java.JavaBeansMetaModel "/>
<invoke value="templates::FilterTransform::main(theModel)" />
<outputSlot value="theModelTransformed" />
</component>

<component class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.Writer">
<useSingleGlobalResourceSet value="true"/>
<uri value="${modelFileTransformed}" />
<modelSlot value="theModelTransformed" />
</component>
...

Xtend snippet:

...
ecore::EReference newEReference( filterDsl::Section section, String prefix):

let nextClass = newEClass(section.target.targetType, section.succ, prefix):
let eReference = new EReference :
eReference.setEType(nextClass) ->
...
-> eReference
;

ecore::EClass newEClass( filterDsl::FilteredMetaType type, filterDsl::Successor succ, String prefix):

let eClass = new EClass :
let nameAttr = new EAttribute :
nameAttr.setName("name") ->
...
-> eClass
;
...

Versions:

Xtext 0.8.0.v200909291551
Xtend 0.8.0.v200909291301

One would hope that a relative path like this would be resolve into an
absolute path before it's used to open the Ecore resource, but given
what you show above, I'd say it's not the case. I'd open a bugzilla.
