Tested and found to be partially working on Win 8. (Yesss!!)
Furthermore, there's no difference between using \ or / as a folder delimiter in the paths on Win 8.

1. Created new Inkscape file and put it into "foldername-1".
2. Added some random GIF, JPG and PNG-files to a subfolder called "subfolder"
3. Drag-and-dropped files into Inkscape file.
4. Closed Inkscape, renamed parent folder to "foldername-2".
5. Opened Inkscape.

Result:
Linked image files were still loaded as the xlink:href is still relative.
Really good! :D :D :D

However, if some of the paths are absolute, Inkscape 0.91pre4 r13712 crashes upon loading the file.
Furthermore, for some reason, it's possible to import a JPG or GIF file into the same SVG. Any combination of JPG+PNG or GIF+PNG works but GIF+JPG crashes Inkscape upon importing the second file.
