It's a bug that this is not the case, one that happens only when you pass
"." as directory name... dpkg-source ought to always be called from above
the source package but for --commit this was really not convenient so I
allowed "." but internally it goes up one directory and switches the
parameter.

This is also a bug.

Thanks for the clarification, I fixed both.
