Tested some more:

Calling get_filename_component(... ABSOLUTE) on the path-variable works:

get_filename_component(absdir ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/. ABSOLUTE)
file(GLOB var5 RELATIVE ${absdir} *.txt)
message("var5: '${var5}'")

So maybe file(GLOB ...) should call get_filename_component( ABSOLUTE) internally.
