Confirmed with Emacs 24.3 & 22.1:
Enter eshell, change to / and then cd to ".." and eshell/pwd reports
"/.." instead of the canonical "/":
~ $ cd /
/ $ cd ..
/.. $ cd ..
/ $
It's pretty much a non-issue, but it may be an easy fix for someone.
I can submit a patch, but not sure if that's helpful without signing
FSF papers.
Michael

We are speaking here of `eshell/pwd' which should return "/" like
`*pwd', `expand-filename' is unrelated to this.
The prompt of eshell is also showing "/.." which is not correct.
Try (setq eshell-pwd-convert-function 'file-truename)
Which fix the problem.

See eshell/cd, which uses cd which uses expand-filename.

Probably, but the problem is related to pwd.
See docstring of `eshell-pwd-convert-function'.

No, the problem already started with cd.

`eshell/cd' more exactly that use `eshell/pwd' internally.

Ok -- I hadn't run across file systems with a 'superroot' before (cf. Emacs Manual 25.8.4). I'll special case it in my Eshell prompt function then.
Thanks for the quick reply,
Michael

If one is interested to fix this bug, a fix for this could be something
like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq eshell-pwd-convert-function (lambda (f)
(if (file-equal-p (file-truename f) "/")
"/" f)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
instead of 'identity as default value.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
I've now fixed this in Emacs 29.
