It depends what you mean by "normal". It will look in ~/.other for
a number of files and directories, but not for the after directory.
If you want it to look in ~/.other/after you'll have to include that
in 'rtp' as well.
:set rtp=~/.other,~/.other/after
That is how you tell Vim to look there _after_ it sources from the
directories ahead of the after files in 'rtp'.
I know you know all that, but it seems pretty clear to me that that
behavior is by design. I don't see the problem. Maybe you just
haven't made it short and simple enough for me.

Of course the after files are not there--you didn't include them in
'rtp'.
The ftdetect files are not there because they're sourced by
$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim. So if you included at least $VIMRUNTIME,
your 'rtp' would behave more as "normal", e.g.,
:set rtp=~/.other,$VIMRUNTIME,~/.other/after
With $VIMRUNTIME in your 'rtp', any files in <package>/ftdetect
should be sourced upon ":filetype on" as long as 'rtp' includes
<package>.

Apparently not. I guess there are other ways that Vim could manage
plugins, but I don't see a problem with the current method.
I'll re-read your earlier messages and see if I can possibly grasp
the less-simple example.
