I was also surprised by this new behavior. I liked becoming root and staying in the same dir (for 'make install' f.e.), but I guess I'll just have to learn more about it and do things better. I do have a note about that NEWS entry though and also what you've replied in this bug (and probably others). You and the NEWS entry say "use 'su -'", but the updated man page says this: "It is recommended to always use the --login option (instead of its shortcut -) to avoid side effects caused by mixing environments." If we're going to 'force'/educate people to do the right thing, better do it proper and consistent ;-)
