Thanks for this report. I see that the problem is in
qtoctave/editor.cpp around line 335 where it says

     octave_connection->command_enter(finfo.baseName());

which should probably be

     octave_connection->command_enter(QString("source ") + finfo.fileName()) );

I'll consult with upstream that this is the right fix.
