No, I did call \doiffile{picture} without any path components and the
aforementioned file comes out first.
One more observation: having put a file picture.pdf in the current directory
makes \doiffile{picture} find that one.
I conclude therefore that the search is first for file type pdf in all paths
and only after that for another file type.
Preferably in my eyes would have been the other way around: first priority of
the search on a picture file of any acceptable type, and on failing that the
same in all directories subsequently in the search path. But, this might be
called a matter of taste.
