If I recall correctly, this rule is intentional; of the examples you linked to, only the nested reference in slickgrid should be allowed, so probably the change should be to require as many leading ../ as the number of nested directories + 1.

From the history it looks like when types-publisher only had support for non-relative type references, only /// <reference types="packagename/x" /> were local, which makes sense, and this was applied to relative type references by analogy, but that doesn't make sense? addReference() already correctly handles non-local relative references:

if (
full.startsWith("..") &&
(baseDirectory === "" || path.normalize(joinPaths(baseDirectory, full)).startsWith(".."))
) {
throw new Error(
`${src.fileName}: ` +
'Definitions must use global references to other packages, not parent ("../xxx") references.' +
`(Based on reference '${ref.text}')`
);
}
