I seem to recall that on the mac there was a system option of some sort
that "launches apps from a sensible" location --- of course the Apple
powers that be may have removed that capability recently...

It's root because that's where the system launches applications from,
when you double-click them in the Finder (or via the open command, I
think). You'll see that GUI-launched images do not inherit your shell
environment either.
However, if you run pharo from command-line, you get the usual unix
behavior.
On Linux you get home, although that's imho also wrong and it
should use the folder of the image… but maybe that's a
misconfiguration of OSProcess.
No, it's the same logic than on Mac (albeit $HOME is arguably a little
more sensible than the filesystem's root).
I'm not sure what's the correct behavior here, unless there is a way
to know if pharo was launched from GUI (where working directory is
meaningless and pharo should probably chdir() to the image directory)
or from command-line (where the working directory is meaningful and
should be honored. On OSX, maybe there's a way to pass GUI-specific
arguments, through the Info.plist file?
