I bet because paths in bootstrap.inc are relative.
Wouldn't it be better to write a custom template for that page?
You can redefine the *whole* page. You just have to write a custom
page.tpl.php. It is described at page 115 in Pro Drupal Developement.

There are some modules that let you change the first page too etc...

I wouldn't work against the CMS and its api.
