Sure they are. Relative to the directory in which xemacs was started,
not the user's home directory.
Files with an relative path are not processed on two of my machines.
I put an init.el under /tmp with only one statement:
(message "Hallo")
I changed my cwd to /tmp and typed:
xemacs -user-init-file init.el
The message wasn't shown.
Starting xemacs with an absolute path like this
xemacs -user-init-file /tmp/init.el
worked for my.
