what version of context do you run? i though that i added support for
that some time ago
Version 2006.04.27.
\dodotypefile checks where the file is, but a following call to
\makelocreadfilename seems to set improperly \readfilename, but I'm not
sure to understand correctly the code.
\tracefilestrue
Hm, verbatim seems not using the file interface: there's no trace about  
file found or not related to typefile. Another thing I did is to patch  
\processfileverbatim to trace what is actually the file used:
\def\processfileverbatim#1%
   {\par
    \bgroup
    \writestatus{jo}{file=#1}
    ...
And doing:
\typefile{list1.tex} % file in the current directory (ok)
\typefile{test-001.tex} % file in the \usepath directory (nok)
\typefile{joke} % file that does not exist (ok, an error is printed)
\typefile{pos2.tex} % again a local existing file (ok)
Gives the traces:
systems         : begin file typefile at line 79
jo              : file=list1.tex
systems         : searching for pdfr-ec on tex path
systems         : pdfr-ec located
(/usr/local/share/texmf-local/tex/context/base/pdfr-ec.tex)
jo              : file=test-001.tex
verbatim        : file joke does not exist
jo              : file=pos2.tex
So, the actual file path is not used, but it is the argument passed that  
is always used.
it's

\makelocreadfilename{#3}%

that does the search
