Thank you for your report. However what you are seeing is not a bug.
It is required behavior. An empty path is the same as saying '.'.
That is the way it is supposed to work. Here is the documentation
from the manual.
PATH The search path for commands. It is a colon-separated list of
directories in which the shell looks for commands (see
COMMAND EXECUTION below). A zero-length (null) directory
name in the value of PATH indicates the current directory. A
null directory name may appear as two adjacent colons, or as
an initial or trailing colon. The default path is
system-dependent, and is set by the administrator who
installs bash. A common value is
``/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin''.
