OK, I see it now. It's interference between "longest" in 'wildmode' and the shortening that the :find completion is doing. Using CTRL-L shows it without changing the 'wildmode' option. At the last step, if you use CTRL-D instead of <Tab>, you see it lists "foo/". That's the shortened version of "/tmp/foo/". The method "longest" uses to find the longest common string doesn't really work here, because when there are multiple matches you get a short string which then has a different meaning. The shortening for :find completion only works if you use the whole result. Example: Suppose /tmp/foobar and /tmp/foofoo exist. Then completing ":find /tmp/fo" would result in ":find foo", since "foo" is the longest common part of "foobar" and "foofoo". But removing "/tmp/" now has changed the meaning, further completion on ":find foo" will give a different set of results.
