   Uh, I guess you should not use 
   pwd RET
   but rather
   M-x pwd RET

I don't reproduce the problem either.  Emacs works fine.

When I do the above with pwd in the *shell* buffer, I, too, see
/tmp/(2007)

When I do 
       M-x pwd RET
I see the default directory for the buffer, which in my case is  /

After changing the default directory for the buffer with
       M-x cd RET /tmp/(2007) RET
when I do 
       M-x pwd RET
I see  
       /tmp/(2007)/
as expected.
