I haven't checked how other shells behave. This is the documented behavior:
CDPATH Search path for the cd built-in command. It works the same
way as PATH for those directories not beginning with ‘/’ or
‘.’ in cd commands. Note that if CDPATH is set and does not
contain ‘.’ or an empty path, the current directory is not
searched.
So setting CDPATH=:/tmp or CDPATH=.:/tmp will work as expected.

It was perfectly clear and well done. Thanks.
