I am not familiar with uniquify, but after binding default-directory in
vc-dir-prepare-status-buffer, I get the result above.
And it is identical to what happens when doing:


(progn
  (require 'uniquify)
  (setq uniquify-buffer-name-style 'post-forward)
  (cd "/tmp")
  (make-directory "foo")
  (make-directory "bar")
  (cd "/tmp/foo")
  (create-file-buffer "*vc-dir*")
  (cd "/tmp/bar")
  (create-file-buffer "*vc-dir*"))


so either this is a problem with uniquify, or uniquify it's just working
as expected.
