Oops, @zaggino sorry, your replies didn't show up until I reloaded the page.  So tt seems like our own `getModuleUrl()` fully explains the funkiness both cases -- not a Require bug.

In the loadFile() case we could just do the absolute check before converting getModulePath() to a URL... but in the loadStyleSheet() -> parseLessCode() case we're going off of the URL fed into $.get() (`this.url`), which _has_ to have the funkiness... so it does seem like the cleanest solution overall is to just have an absolute-checking utility that handles both cases...
