Yes, they are.

What you have described is the behaviour of the Bourne shell when it
parses a line and searches for a command.  If it sees a path component
in a command name, it searches from either the filesystem root or the
current directory.  Otherwise, it uses $PATH, which does not usually
contain ".", for security reasons.

As you can now imagine, this has no relation to how a Haskell program
should be manipulating paths.
