Dan, Thank you for the correction, my mistake, yes, I meant that libCurl issued an automatic PWD under the covers.
Below is my wireshark stream capture from the initial login. As you can see, given that the initial path separator is not "/", libCurl attempts to determine if this is an "OS/400" per the code block from ftp.c line 2976 (libcurl 7.40) below by issuing a SYST command (which is not supported by the FTP server, if so it issues the special "SITE NAMEFMT 1" command. 220 CMC FTP server ready.
