As an addendum, using Eterm is not quite the same.  Just re-built Eterm, and 
tried it out.  Trying to `ls` Desktop, Documents, and Download, got the 
behavior mentioned in this thread.  Cd’ed to Desktop, then did `ls`, worked 
fine.  Cd`ed back to home and then did `ls` on Desktop, worked fine.  Same for 
the others.  Always worked on other directories from home such as Public, 
Sites, Pictures, Movies, and other directories I’ve created.

rxvt had no problem from the get go.

Looks like Catalina introduced something into the Posix sub-system that xterm, 
Eterm were using.  Probably a bug-fix that xterm and Eterm were taking 
advantage of.
