Okay, thought so.

Then what about this case:

#+BEGIN_SRC xml
  <schema xmlns="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron"; queryBinding="xslt2">
    <include href="subdir/abstract-pattern.xml"/>
    <pattern is-a="abstract-pattern" id="instance">
      <param name="foo" value="bar"/>
    </pattern>
  </schema>
#+END_SRC

With abstract-pattern.xml beeing:

#+BEGIN_SRC xml
  <pattern abstract="true" id="abstract-pattern">
    <rule context="$foo">
      <assert test="doc-available('abstract-pattern.xml')"/>
    </rule>
  </pattern>
#+END_SRC

After performing the inclusion we get:

#+BEGIN_SRC xml
  <schema xmlns="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron"; queryBinding="xslt2">
    <pattern abstract="true" id="abstract-pattern" xml:base="/path/to/subdir">
      <rule context="$foo">
        <assert test="doc-available('abstract-pattern.xml')"/>
      </rule>
    </pattern>
    <pattern is-a="abstract-pattern" id="instance">
      <param name="foo" value="bar"/>
    </pattern>
  </schema>
#+END_SRC

Does the pattern 'instance' inherit @xml:base of the abstract pattern
after inclusion?
