There is opposition to fixing it in start/call-process since it does the
wrong thing if the command uses to relative filenames.  There is no
opposition to "a general fix" at all, although such a general fix would
look like a macro that can easily be added where useful/needed, or maybe
some additional arg, or clever reuse of existing arg.
