It might be that gattrib is picking up the wrong libgeda.so file. That
is why I asked for the output of:

"which gattrib"

and

"ldd `which gattrib`"

It is pretty bizarre that the schematic location affects things, but
thinking further.. perhaps you have a "gafrc" file in the other
directory which pulls in a bad footprint?

It could be that the problem stems from something wrong in one of the
symbols your schematic references.
