I would say this is a bash bug. The shell build-in prompt does no longer
distinguish betwee \w and \W. See man bash -> prompting
\w the current working directory, with $HOME
abbreviated with a tilde
\W the basename of the current working directory,
with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde
Would you mind to report it with bugzilla?
