It's unspecified behavior. popd doesn't take any `non-option' arguments.
As soon as you specify one, you can't really expect to know what will
happen without experimentation or reading the source.
/var/tmp gets translated to the equivalent of -0 (if you're curious, it's
because `/' isn't `+' and the default directory index is 0).
It should probably be an error instead.
