This only tells you that it will lookup for .cmi files and .cm{o,a} files in this directory. It doesn't mean that it *loads* them.
As you can see in your transcript only re.cma is loaded when you #require re and that archive doesn't have the re_posix.cmo file.
The reason why #show_module Re_posix gives you an answer is because in that re directory there is the re_posix.cmi file which the toplevel sees and loads to provide you the directive result and mispelling advice. Interface files are automatically looked up but not implementations.
From a usability perspective one could argue that ocamlfind subpackages should install in their own subdirectory so that the kind of "strange" behaviour you witnessed does not occur.
Best,
Daniel
