This isn't a regression in current CVS. It was like this in 1.3.10, too.
I assume you're using Window 98 or ME. Those were the only systems I could
duplicate this on.
/bin/pwd seems to work just fine. It seems like bash is getting confused
when the directory disappears out from under it. I am actually surprised
that Windows 98 allows you to do something like that.
