Now-and-then it's the correct path. But as you saw from my Screenshot,
now-and-then, it's the path of a previously opened pdf. By Cmd-Click, it
shows the full path of  a previous pdf.

Right now, I've reproduced it twice, after two views via texdoc, Preview
shows the path of :

~ $ texdoc amsmath
~ $ texdoc llncs  > this displayed llncs.doc.pdf, but shows "trees" (of
previous pdf) Cmd-Click shows the full path to "tree"
~ $ texdoc llncs > this tisplayes llncs.doc.pdf, but shows the directory
Downloads, where I saved the previous Screenshot


The Screenshots are attached.


Good Luck,
