The name of the folder containing a file is normally indexed as part of the “other metadata”. This means that tag data and full path name are both part of metadata right?
No; the name of the folder containing the file is part of “other metadata”, not its full path. And if you have set the UseRelativePathForParentFolder hidden preference, then the relative path is part of “other metadata”, not the full path. If the "-" character exists in the path of the indexed folder itself, but not in the subpath of the file inside the indexed folder, then the behavior you describe seems normal.

And just to be sure I turn on "defaults write com.ctmdev.FoxTrotShared UseRelativePathForParentFolder -bool YES", but the result is the same
Make sure to relaunch FoxTrot and rebuild your index after setting / clearing this hidden preference.
