It doesn't need to be a change in a config file. The machine setup
(partitioning, permissions of /home, for instance) could influence runtime
behaviour, too.

It may not even be a bug in Nautilus either, since other components take
care of stopping/starting it (e.g. gnome-tweak-tool and gnome-shell).

What happens if you kill all "nautilus" processes, then start a terminal
(e.g. gnome-terminal) in a way that it starts in $HOME, then run
"nautilus --no-default-window" manually? Does it also cwd to /? Or does
it stay in $HOME? (you can also run it without options just in case)
