CssRewriteUrlTransform with or without virtual directory

I am not sure to fully understand your problem, but seeing http://localhost here seems wrong. You should never use an absolute URL for your bundles.

For me CssRewriteUrlTransform works perfectly, here is how I use it:

bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/bundles/css").Include(
                "~/Content/css/*.css", new CssRewriteUrlTransform()));

“Bundles” is virtual.

Does this helps?

Update

I was confused with the “VirtualDir” thing, as you are talking about IIS VirtualDir, and I was thinking Bundle VirtualDir! It’s true that in this case CssRewriteUrlTransform will rewrite URLs to the Host, not to the Host/VirtualDir URI.

To do that, you have to derive CssRewriteUrlTransform to make it do what you need it to.
There is a good discussion here: ASP.NET MVC4 Bundling with Twitter Bootstrap

Seems the best answer is there:http://aspnetoptimization.codeplex.com/workitem/83

public class CssRewriteUrlTransformWrapper : IItemTransform
{
    public string Process(string includedVirtualPath, string input)
    {           
        return new CssRewriteUrlTransform().Process("~" + VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(includedVirtualPath), input);           
    }
}

Use this class instead of CssRewriteUrlTransform
