OK, I'll check how to fix this.

Hmm.  I guess there could be an option to reverse this, yes.

I do expand-file-name on the file path before opening it.  Can you give 
me an example on when this fils to work correctly?

Add an entry '(directory . emacs) to org-file-apps.  Thi indicates that 
directories should be opened in Emacs, and that automatically means 
dired.  I just see that this feature is not properly documented - will 
fix this.
