Many things can be faked by the parent. One could check if getcwd() and
getenv("PWD") resolves to the same directory if this is a concern.
Based on the fact that other shells have a different behavior I was curious if
there was a reason to keep it this way or if it was just historical stuff from
pdksh.

I'd love to hear it if you don't mind, getcwd(3) returns resolved symlinks.
ksh keeps track of the symlinked folders I assume for the purpose of ease
of use. If a client application wants to keep the same context I think it's
useful to have access to it.
