Ah. Zsh ignores the environment PWD unless it already points to the
actual current directory. Since, in the root, .. and . and any path
containing nothing but those all loop back to the current directory,
zsh accepts the value.
Hence also PWD="../$(basename $PWD)" will be accepted anywhere. This
also seems to be the rule bash is following.
