Have you by any chance set the 'cdpath' option to something other than its
default? From todo.txt:
":cd" doesn't work when current directory path contains "**".
finddir() has the same problem. (Yukihiro Nakadaira, 2012 Jan 10)
Requires a rewrite of the file_file_in_path code.
If your 'cdpath' contains a double-asterisk, findfile() might be inheriting
finddir()'s problem.
Just a guess.
