This is a wishlist item that applies to all released Emacs versions and
current Git master.
I suggest that save-place-to-alist in lisp/saveplace.el be enabled to
call abbreviate-file-name on the file names it writes out to the
.emacs-places file. That way, it is easier (or possible) to share this
file across hosts, if for example the home directories are in a
different place.
Ideally, this could just be done all the time, but maybe there is a
reason for this not to be done? In that case, maybe a Boolean
configuration variable or a filter function could be used.
I can also try to supply a patch if there is an agreement on the approach.

That would make a lot of sense, yes.

I've now added this user option to Emacs 28 under the name
`save-place-abbreviate-file-names'.
