Public bug reported:

net8-rmt# lxc-attach -n test -- bash -c 'id && egrep ^root /etc/passwd && echo ~ && echo $HOME && pwd'
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
/root
/root
/

Notice pwd show / instead of /root which is incorrect + causes all
manner of confusion when debugging path related problems.

net8-rmt# uname -a
Linux ns515383.ip-167-114-159.net 3.19.0-18-generic #18-Ubuntu SMP Tue May 19 18:31:35 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
