When I have "Current file directory" selected in "Options/General/File Open-Save Dialog initial directory" and the current file is located in C:\Documents and settings\user\Desktop, the folder offered to me when I create a new file and want to save it is "C:\Documents and settings\user" nevertheless.
(With "Last used directory" selected, it offers Desktop as it should.)

And what you will expect ? ;)
When you save new document, it is current document itself. And because it is new document, it does not have any path associated yet.
So HE just does fall back in this case and uses system current directory for new folder. By chance it is parent directory of the previous file you have opened.

(OK, I'm sorry, i understood it that way that for a new file, the default save folder should be set to the folder of the previous one.)

No, but I have adopted a logic a little bit to use in this case also last used directory as fall back.
