Yes, they do work differently. I haven't advocated to remove load-file
and/or merge it into load-library for precisely this reason. But we could
get rid of load-library if we could just add an interactive spec to `load'.
As for getting rid of load-file, maybe you could make load-library's
completion understand a leading "./" as meaning "relative to current dir"
(similarly to what is done in most shells), or maybe make a C-u prefix tell
load-library that the initial minibuffer content should be
default-directory. Then maybe we could imagine getting rid of load-file.
