Here's a reason why it should:
Note that <C-D> is not only for file-name completion -- it
is for command-line completion. It is defined as "List
names that match the pattern in front of the cursor."
So since :find uses 'path', shouldn't <C-D> acting as
command-line completion use 'path' for completing
:find <partial><C-D>?
