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.
