The exact CWD being used is /usr/libexec.
Using a directory below /usr as CWD prevents /usr from being un- or remounted. (The latter is for example necessary if you want to mount it read-only after a system update.)
/ should be used instead.

Would be nice if this rather simple bug could be fixed after almost a year...
