I'm wonderign why doe sit even display susch paths. I just tested with:

    cd ~/tmp

    env \
      PATH="/usr/local/bin/gnu:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/csw/bin:$PATH" \
      LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:/opt/csw/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/secure" \
      PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python:$PYTHONPATH" \
      truss -f bzr help |
      grep staff-f

And it displays loads of calls under the PWD (~/tmp)

    # note: I have hundreads of files and dirs under ~/tmp

    ...
    /mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/timemodule.so",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/traceback",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/traceback.py",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/traceback.pyc",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/traceback.so",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/tracebackmodule.so",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/tty",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/tty.py",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/tty.pyc",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/tty.so",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/ttymodule.so",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/urllib",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/urllib.py",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/urllib.pyc",
    "/mnt/cc/staff-f/jaalto/tmp/urllib.so",
    ...


Does bzr or python somehow search "." or do I have a problem in my setup
somewhere?

Neither PATH or PYTHONPATH used above contain "." or "::" (empty path).
