As I understand it, this simply means that  
\relative c' { a b c \transpose a c {d e f} a b c}

is the same thing as

{
  \relative c' { a b c}
  \transpose a c {d e f}
  \relative {a b c}
}

and the same if we replace \transpose with \chordmode

Also, I believe it means that in

\relative c' {a b d \relative g' {a b c} }

the g' is not relative to the d' obtained from the action of the first 
relative, but instead is an absolute pitch.

HTH,
