It seems that tmux tries to determine the pane's current directory by
checking the foreground process group's leader's current working
directory. In the above pipe that leader is the "cat /etc/hosts" which
has already finished when you do the split so it can't observe its cwd
at that point.
I think a reasonable fallback for this scenario would be to check the
session leader's cwd which is the shell where you start the above
pipeline. I've appended a patch which implements this in Linux.
