It was already fixed in trunk 10 months ago (r1315: 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/phobos/log/trunk/tools/rdmd.d ), but never 
got included in the DMD distributions. I nagged about it over on 
"digitalmars.D" recently and Walter has promised the latest RDMD will 
finally be included with the next DMD release.

The version in trunk *does* still have problems if you need to use the 
"-Ipath" switch, but I've submitted a patch that fixes that:
