FYI, here is the comment I put on the merge proposal (and the reason I
put back the report to confirmed):

I think it is unnecessary to add things in _get_path: eventually the
function file_open in openerp/tools/misc.py will be called (via
_open_image in openerp/report/render/rml2pdf/trml2pdf.py) and that
function is using the addons_path info.

Title:
  RML based reporting broken for addons with images outside root_path

Status in OpenERP Server:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently, in order to be found by OpenERP, image elements within RML
  templates must be specified making use of paths relative to
  'root_path'. With the 'addons_path' functionality, this behaviour
  becomes inconsistent; if an addon is moved to a valid directory
  outside the 'root_path' directory, the reporting process is broken and
  the server raises an IOError exception.

  To deal with this problem, the RML template must contain the full path
  to the image file (which can be anything but flexible), or make use of
  a custom tag to set up the path dynamically.

  Attached is a patch that enables the server to recognise image
  elements with paths relative to the module directory, regardless of
  the addons directory where it is. I.e.:

      <image file="my_addon/images/my_report_image.png" x="0" y="0"/>
