I also wondered about this when trying to figure out how to write a
TAP test for recovery testing with tablespaces, for my undo proposal.
I was starting to wonder about either allowing relative paths or
supporting some kind of variable in the tablespace path that could
then be set differently in each cluster's .conf.
