Describe the bug

I am using import.meta.resolve to resolve configuration files and entry points while generating my vite config. I expect this to work, except it doesn't because vite appends /node_modules/.vite-temp to every path.

Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-sbaj8ewe?file=package.json&view=editor

Steps to reproduce

create a config that uses import.meta.resolve to locate something like a babel config file or an entry point
