Update: the situation seems to be very confusing!  Both of these functions set the relevant feature in the co-ordinate system of, and relative to, the prim that they are called from (I think).  But on the other hand the setting applies to every prim in the object!  So if I do llSetCameraEyeOffset(v) in prim A, and someone sits on a different prim B, their camera eye goes to v relative to A (not to B).  So it's like v is computed relative to A, and then the resulting absolute position applies for anyone who sits on any prim.  Or something...
