My tentative explanation would be that the directory, namely the inode,
still exists -- only the entry for it in its parent directory is gone.
So "one level up from here" is still a valid operation, but there is no
longer a path in the file system associated with "here".
so "here" must always be available somehow, even if getcwd() fails
(something like the environment variable $PWD). shame that
os.getenv('PWD') isn't reliable, as it would solve my issue :(
