As you noticed, :read doesn't consult 'path'.

Here's a quick implementation:

fun! Read(file)
let full_path = findfile(a:file)
exe "read " . full_path
endfun

fun! PathComplete(A,L,P)
return split( globpath(&path, a:A."*"), "\n")
endfun

command! -complete=customlist,PathComplete -nargs=1 Read call Read('<args>')

Use like so:

:Read foo<tab>
