I see the same thing. I was about to report that it worked for me
because I tried it with this command line:

vim -N -u NONE --cmd 'runtime plugin/netrwPlugin.vim' -o . foo.m foobar.vim

and with that command it does work fine. But then I realized that I
wasn't faithfully reproducing your example, so I changed the
directory from "." to "tmp":

vim -N -u NONE --cmd 'runtime plugin/netrwPlugin.vim' -o tmp foo.m foobar.vim

That command fails for me almost the same way it did for you: the
top window contains the directory contents and has the name
"[Scratch] [RO]"; the other two windows are empty and have the name
"tmp".

The cursor starts in the top window. When I type ^W^W to move to
the second window, the second window fills with the same directory
contents and the name in the status line changes to "[Scratch]
[RO]". Typing ^W^W again moves the cursor to the bottom window
which again fills with the directory contents, but this time the
name in the status line becomes the name of the directory,
"/home/garyjohn/tmp [RO]".

I'm using Vim 7.2.411 and netrw v137d on RHEL4.
