One can only hope that this is because App Sandbox is currently not fully baked.

Otherwise, how would something like Xcode work sandboxed?  An .xcodeproj 
contains zillions of relative paths to files that the user, at some point in 
the past, explicitly added.

Either App Sandbox is unfinished, or Apple is taking us towards of word of 
iFart-type apps only.
