"May cause", isn't that the intention and what's wrong
with that?

I have . first in the shell PATH as well to execute scripts
there quickly, but also to give precedence if some binary
somewhere deep in the system has the same name.

What do you mean, when that file is byte-compiled, isn't the
current directory that of that file, i.e. just where it should
look first to require stuff? Or it doesn't work like that, you
mean? Or what do you mean? I don't understand what you mean.
