I propose addressing the remainder of this issue by:
1) Documenting the difference in behavior between Windows and non-Windows, adjusting the tests to reflect this difference, and then closing this issue, and then
2) Creating a new issue to discuss whether and in what version to make the behavior of the cwd argument the same across Windows and non-Windows.
---------- stage: patch review -> test needed
