My concerns were all due to a misunderstanding, then.
Plus a lack of familiarity with the `invocation-directory' variable,
which would have clued me in. FWIW I think that mis-interpreting
"where it was invoked" and similar phrases as meaning "where the
user ran 'emacs' from" is a particularly easy mistake to make if you
don't already know better, so that could be a good thing to habitually
write as `invocation-directory' to steer people in the right direction.
Sorry for the noise.
