I'm able to duplicate this problem very easily using Vim 7.4.41 and
netrw v149 on an Ubuntu 10.04 system. For example:
$ cd /usr
$ vim -N -u NORC share # Succeeds
$ vim -N -u NORC /usr/share # Succeeds
$ cd
$ vim -N -u NORC /usr/share # Fails
$ cd /tmp
$ vim -N -u NORC /usr/share # Fails
In short, it seems to open a relative path to a directory fine, and
the absolute path to a directory when the current directory is in
that path fine, but it does not open a directory given by its
absolute path when the current directory is not in that path.
I repeated my experiments using an older Vim installation, Vim
7.2.330 and netrw v136, and it always worked, so something appears
to have broken between then and 7.4.41/v149.

I will try to get that later today.
