This makes sense to me - though I am not saying its "correct".

When you cd in interactive mode rc(1) writes the path to the
directory into /dev/wdir. This informs rio of your current dir
so it can do the filename completion (and also gives the directory
context to the plumber).

I guess the @{ } "execute in a subshell" code in rc could save and restore
the current directory, however this is only an issue in interactive mode.
I have never needed @{ } interactively so I have not had this problem.

probably the best way to get things back in sync is:

	cd `{pwd}
