I don't see a problem. These commands can be used:
:cd %:p:h
:lcd %:p:h

The first sets Vim's current directory for all windows.
The second sets it only for the current window.

Check autochdir value:
:verbose set autochdir?

If there is a problem, start with
gvim -N -u NONE

then work out some simple commands that illustrate a problem,
and post them and the result.
