Drupal allows me to create a relative menu link to a node: node/154
Drupal does not allow me to create a relative menu link to a file: /intranet/sites/default/files/file.pdf
The path '/intranet/sites/default/files/file.pdf' is either invalid or you do not have access to it.

Note the description of that field: "This can be an internal Drupal path such as node/add or an external URL such as http://drupal.org"

Files, even those attached through Drupal, still do not have internal paths to my knowledge, so at least it is consistent with the documentation. I imagine there are sufficient underlying complications that the best answer you get will be "use a fully qualified URL" or "work around it in your theme"

This is still an issue in 7.x (and possibly newer versions, although I have not tested them).
