Sorry, somehow I completely missed out seeing this until now.

Ah, thank you, one "mystery" solved.

So your version of the link from epub root we be would be the following:
OEBPS/Text/../Text/notes.xhtml
which would then need to be simplified.
whereas in current Sigil the link destination will be built as
OEBPS/Text/notes.xhtml
with no further simplification needed.
So if you stop making any changes to the epub or mending of code, no changes will be made to links. But once a file name is changed or a mend is done, a split is done, etc, the links will be corrected and properly updated, just as Sigil always has done.

Okay, thanks very much for those details. It's making my brain melt a little bit because I thought same internal structure = same paths, regardless of which version of Sigil. I did not realise there could be a difference to the paths for an epub with the same (standard) internal structure when managed by old Sigil vs. new Sigil or that old Sigil was displaying paths that were not the actual paths.
Anyway thanks for taking the time to explain it.
