Examples cannot explain, they can only demonstrate a subset of the
logic. There are an infinite number of negative cases, where a given
behavior does *not* apply; there's no way for an example to show all
of the infinite negative cases!
Indeed, your own example demonstrates one of the negative case for
directory search, where the vpath logic does *not* apply. How can we
provide 'an' example to illustrate all the infinite cases where the
vpath logic doesn't apply?
I tell you that your example is behaving correctly, operating as the
info pages specify it should. Why should the vpath for one target
(preq1) apply to a different target (di2/preq2)? You apparently think
that it should, but because you don't say *WHY* you believe that, I
cannot identify the bad step in your path to that incorrect
conclusion.
