Yes, or adding the current directory to it.

Are you sure you are seeing this behavior with bash?  Bash for me
(version 3.00.16(1)) works fine even when CDPATH does not contain the
current directory. I only see this behavior with the bourne shell. I
don't know if its a bug or the intended behavior.
