Hmm... this is a tough one.  The only thing I can think of is for your project
creator to override the 'relative' subroutine.  Something similar to this:

sub relative {
  my($self, $value, $expand_template, $scope) = @_;

  if (defined $value) {
    $value = $self->SUPER::relative($value, $expand_template, $scope);

    ## Add code here to fix the value(s).  $value may or may not be an array
  }

  return $value;
}

Something also found to be caused of this issue

MPC file:
project(*Server) : aceexe {
  exename = server
  recursive_includes += $(ACE_ROOT)/ace
}

combined with -recursive_includes this leads to (independent of forward or backward slashes in ACE_ROOT):

C:\ACE\latest\ACE_wrappers\MPCt>set ACE_ROOT=c:/ACE/latest/ACE_wrappers

C:\ACE\latest\ACE_wrappers\MPCt>perl %ACE_ROOT%\bin\mwc.pl -type wb26 -noreldefs
Using .../latest/ACE_wrappers/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config/MPC.cfg
Generating 'wb26' output using default input
WARNING: Unable to expand ACE_ROOT.
Generation Time: 0s

And in the generated .wrproject I do get:
            <listAttribute key="BLD::Info|Incl|PPC604gnu">
                <stringAttribute value="-I$(WIND_BASE)/target/h"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I$(WIND_BASE)/target/h/wrn/coreip"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I$(ACE_ROOT)"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I$(ACE_ROOT)/ace"/>
            </listAttribute>

See that the recursive_includes is not done, because without -noreldefs I do get:

            <listAttribute key="BLD::Info|Incl|PPC604gnu">
                <stringAttribute value="-I$(WIND_BASE)/target/h"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I$(WIND_BASE)/target/h/wrn/coreip"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I.."/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I../ace"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I../ace/.svn"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I../ace/.svn/prop-base"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I../ace/.svn/props"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I../ace/.svn/text-base"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I../ace/.svn/tmp"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I../ace/.svn/tmp/prop-base"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I../ace/.svn/tmp/props"/>
                <stringAttribute value="-I../ace/.svn/tmp/text-base"/>

And much more lines.
