Short description of error

I hope I can make this clear.
I'm using Linux (Pop!_OS 20.04)
I'm using Factory Defaults.
I included the whole project (simplified) as .zip to this report.
So, I'm working on a project and want to organise the folders a bit better. I want the Video Editor file comp_0001.blend to be located from **/3d/comp/comp_0001.blend to/comp/**comp_0001.blend.
Here is a capture of how files were and how I want them to be - As you can see, the COMP folder should locate at the root of the project:
So, I just though of using 'Save As...' and keep the Remap Relative option ON, as usual.
But then all the frame sequences get this on their source frames:

Very weird. The folder 3d gets duplicated a lot of times. And of course the frames don't work anymore, since the path is incorrect. I think this is a clear bug. And I think a lot of people want to reorganise their folders like I do.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Unzip the file structure
Make Blender to use factory defaults
Open /main_directory/3d/comp/comp_0001.blend
Notice how the .png frames get loaded normally (hopefully, should load nicely, they use relative mapping for path)
Save the .blend as /main_directory/comp/comp_0001.blend
notice how the .png frames' source gets messed up :(

Attached file structure with the .blends and source frames to make it easy to reproduce (hopefully):
main_directory.zip
