Can't resolve leafref when its path isn't part of the grouping declaring it

I’m having trouble with a leafref definition:
if I’m using relative path ../../../../../component/config/name
yangtool fails with the following error: https://gist.github.com/adetalhouet/3fa35df94f530a24a936d9a3165bd36e
if I’m using plain path, so /components/component/config/name
yangtool succeed.

This is the yang model https://github.com/openconfig/public/blob/master/release/models/platform/openconfig-platform.yang
