Sorry, I still can't reproduce with:

  mkdir repo && cd repo && git init
  mkdir subdir

  commit() {
    echo content >>subdir/file
    git add subdir/file
    git commit -m foo
  }

  commit; commit; commit; commit; commit

  git blame HEAD~3..HEAD~1 subdir/file >no-dash &&
  git blame HEAD~3..HEAD~1 -- subdir/file >dash &&
  diff no-dash dash &&
  echo ok

So there must be some difference between your setup and my test case.
Can you give more details?

PS I tested on a variety of git versions back to v1.5.5, and I couldn't
trigger the problem, so I don't think it is a version issue.
