Details are lacking, and I cannot reproduce this. I did:

./src/emacs -Q -l uniquify \
  --eval "(setq uniquify-buffer-name-style 'forward)" ./README ./etc/README

and I got two buffers names "etc/README" and "trunk/README".

In the latter, I did

C-x w /tmp/README

The name of the buffer changed to /tmp/README.

So please give a recipe starting from emacs -Q showing your problem.
