Is there some routine present that sets the defaultFolder or similar to an
alternate path at startup or shutdown?

Maybe try explicitly setting the defaultFolder yourself at startup.  Or
maybe run a loop that resets the filename of each image that has an external
link.  Something like:

 repeat with N = 1 to number of imgs of this cd
    put fileName of img N into origPath
    set fileName of img N to empty
    set fileName of img N to origPath
 end repeat
