I have the problem with client, not the server.
Unfortunately, I forgot to include the information that with other tftp 
clients, I can fetch the file from the subdirectory using HPA's tftpd, eg.:

HPA's tftp client:
$ tftp -4 -v localhost -c get lib/fdisk_template
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1), port 69
getting from localhost:lib/fdisk_template to fdisk_template [netascii]
Received 126 bytes in 0.1 seconds [17299 bit/s]
$ ls -l fdisk_template
-rw-r----- 1 daniell daniell 90 2009-03-24 09.18.57 fdisk_template


netkit-tftp client:
$ ./tftp localhost
tftp> get lib/fdisk_template
Received 126 bytes in 0.0 seconds
tftp> quit
$ ls -l fdisk_template
-rw-r----- 1 daniell daniell 90 2009-03-24 09.20.52 fdisk_template


BB tftp client:
$ busybox tftp -g -r lib/fdisk_template localhost
tftp: can't open 'lib/fdisk_template': No such file or directory
