have you tried

\externalfigure[./1/fig.1] ?

Another option is to add the directory to the search path and not to use
directories in the name.

\setupexternalfigures[directory={%
./1,%
./2,%
../whatever/include}]

I use relative and absolute paths in the search path and have no such
problems. But I must admit, that I never used directories in the figure
name.
