Yeah, I am inclined to call it a bug. git-status will show the status of
the whole tree from wherever you are, and people who want full paths
will have status.relativePaths turned off, anyway. So I think your
proposed semantics are more natural.

Yes, please. There is lots of nice discussion in your email but none of
it in the commit message. :)

This fix looks reasonable to me. The other option would be to avoid
cd_to_toplevel at the beginning (which I am not sure why we really need
in the first place, but presumably some code paths rely on it), but it's
probably not worth the risk of introducing new confusing bugs.
