We set HOME to TRASH_DIRECTORY during test, so HOME would not be all
that special.
I thought one of the issues was on Windows "-P" in "pwd -P" is a
no-op? So if you want to fix it locally perhaps
pfx=$(cd -P "$HOME" && pwd)
but I think the true issue may be that we set up fake HOME using
TRASH_DIRECTORY that is before we canonicalize it with "cd -P".
Would doing something like this (without any other changes we
discussed so far) help?
