I don't see why this is needed.  For instance, your example of a shared
prefix:

> 	find srcdir | myfilter | rsync --file-list - srcdir destloc

would be easily written without any sharing:

    find srcdir | myfilter | rsync --file-list - . destloc

or:

    find /foo/bar | myfilter | rsync --file-list - / destloc

Am I missing something?

I think that should only happen if the --relative option is set.
Otherwise all 3 files should go directly into "dest".
