render(String, Map) requires an absolute file path, and it should not

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.render("activity_content").noLayout(); //this works
2.render("activity_content", new HashMap()).noLayout(); //this all of the sudden breaks with FileNotFound exception

We expect the render(String, Map) to act the same way as render(String) does so if i decide to add a map to my previous render() method then nothing should break.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1

Proposed implementation:

/**
 * Renders results with a template.
 *
 * This call must be the last call in the action.
 *
 @param template - template name, can be "list"  - for a view whose name is different than the name of this action, or
 *             "/another_controller/any_view" - this is a reference to a view from another controller. The format of this
 * parameter should be either a single word or words separated by slash: '/'. If this is a single word, than
 * it is assumed that template belongs to current controller, if there is a slash used as a separator, then the
 * first word is assumed to be a name of another controller.
 * @param values map with values to pass to view.
 * @return instance of {@link RenderBuilder}, which is used to provide additional parameters.
 */
@Override
protected RenderBuilder render(String template, Map values) {
    String targetTemplate = template.startsWith("/")? template: Router.getControllerPath(getClass())
            + "/" + template;
    return super.render(targetTemplate, values);    
}
