bug#74146: ESHELL prompt shows incorrect working directory on a TRAMP remote host

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM:

Running emacs -Q for emacs 29.4 (build 2, x86_64-w64-mingw32):

~/.ssh $ cd /sshx:oracle-root:/
/sshx:oracle-root:~/ $ pwd
/sshx:oracle-root:/home/opc/
/sshx:oracle-root:~/ $ /bin/pwd
/

There should be no tilde before / on the second line and the `pwd`
command (which is eshell's own `pwd` written in elisp) on the second
line should not report .../home/opc/ but rather /sshx:oracle-root: like
below.

Running emacs -Q for emacs 27.2 (build 1, ....redhat):

~/.ssh $ cd /ssh:oracle-root:/
/ssh:oracle-root: $ pwd
/ssh:oracle-root:
/ssh:oracle-root: $ /bin/pwd
/
