It's supposed to work. (See the function  
TeXDocument::findRootFilePath(). It uses a regexp to allow flexibility  
about spacing, perhaps that's why you didn't find it with a simple  
search.)

AFAIK this has been working for others, so if it's not working for  
you, please try to come up with a precise example scenario that we can  
check.
