Thanks, I stumbled on this at the same moment your message came in ...
and the separation into a different file is the problem:
As the code for this prompt display has got moved into libbb, it has no
more access to the value of ash's curdir variable ... using getcwd to
get the value to display. Originally this used the same logic for \w
(and \W) as the pwd command, accessing the variables curdir or physdir
(depending on shell flag).
I don't know how to fix this.
IMO this is a bug, as most users expect \w and \W to honor the shell
flag settings and display either physical or logical directory. That was
the original concern.
