The wording is indeed confusing as it is not a strict absolute link but it cannot be a relative link either. In essence, the link must be relative to the root of the deployment, not to the location of the file. default/images/back.gif will work assuming there's a default directory under the root of the deployment containing an images directory where the back.gif file is located. ../../back.gif will not work.
