I noticed the effect that the OP described ($PWD and $HOME/.profile being ignored) too, when I reinstalled all packages (due to /usr/local partition going foobar) and also switched to Mate a couple of weeks ago. Happens both in mate-terminal and in xterm. Unfortunately tricks like described above didn't help. I think, I also tried Xfce and had the same effect, not sure though. Strangely, if I open a new mate-terminal, $PWD and .profile are ignored; If I open the second tab, they are processed, though ... So I guess the next step is to upgrade to todays snap and test, I it stays the same, and wheter I may reproduce it with a more basic WM like CWM/FVWM ...
