Repro steps.

After updating from "1.0.0-beta.30" to "1.0.0-rc.1" relative paths in sass files doesn't work.
For example, before migration this worked good:
background: url('./assets/some-icon.png')

After migrating I must provide a full path like this:
background: url('../../../../assets/some-icon.png')

The log given by the failure.

Same issue as: #5291

Same here, in the end, dist folder gets a lot of files

Dupe of #4778, see there for answers.

FYI a relative path does mean it's relative from where you are. ../../../../assets/some-icon.png is a relative path.
