IMO, this is the expected behavior: relative file names are
interpreted relative to the current buffer's default-directory. After
the first find-file, the current buffer visits the file "/tmp/dir/1",
whose default-directory is "/tmp/dir/".
There's no bug here. To get what you want, run the command-line
arguments through expand-file-name _before_ calling find-file.
