Thanks for that idea, unfortunately it did not work out for me - I did get a 
source bundle that looked ok but for some reason Eclipse was still not able 
to figure out the location. However googling a bit for Eclipse-SourceBundle 
made me find an Eclipse project having essentially the same 'problem'. 
org.eclipse.pde.core include pde-ant.jar inside a subdirectory and the 
corresponding - generated - source bundle includes the sources. I didn't 
verify wether the sources can be accessed, but I'd assume someone would've 
noticed it does not.

Inspecting the setup it appears the Eclipse/PDE folks worked around the lack 
of support for configuring those roots-entries in Tycho by letting Tycho 
build the sources as part of the build but then not include the resulting 
class files in the bundle. Instead the pre-built jar is included, but since 
Tycho has seen and built the sources it'll generate the necessary 
Eclipse-BundleSource entry with the additional root path.

So I'll try that route now as well (though the sources seem to not build out 
of the box).
