If the cwd for the include is the cwd for a.php, how come when
/root/b/b.php includes "b2.php" it includes /root/b/b2.php and not
/root/b2.php?

It's working just like it is supposed to be working.
The working directory (cwd) is the one for the 'main' script, a.php in
your case. NOT the directory where the 'sub' scripts are located.

I should also note that this behavior isn't even consistent:

+---+----------------+------------+----------------+-------------------+----------+
| # | file           | includes   | should include | actually includes
| correct? |
+---+----------------+------------+----------------+-------------------+----------+
| 1 | /root/a.php    | b/b.php    | /root/b/b.php  | /root/b/b.php    
| yes      |
| 2 | /root/b/b.php  | b2.php     | /root/b/b2.php | /root/b/b2.php   
| yes      |
| 3 | /root/b/b2.php | ../c/c.php | /root/c/c.php  | /c/c.php         
| no       |
+---+----------------+------------+----------------+-------------------+----------+

Behavior 1 works as it should
Behavior 2 works as it should
Behavior 3 works not as expected

Behavior 2 and 3 are inconsistent with each other.

Description:
------------
This was posted previously, but I did not feel the issue was really
answered by the responses and I upgraded to 4.3.2 and it's still like
this.

I'm not sure whether this is how it's supposed to work, but if it is
I'm amazed because it's extremely counter-intuitive.

'.' should always be relative to the script that is calling
include*()/require*() even if that script was include*()'d/require*()'d
itself.

full write-up here:

Reproduce code:
---------------
http://www.qurve.com/broken_paths.txt

Expected result:
----------------
/root/a.php includes:   "b/b.php"
/root/b/b.php includes: "../c/c.php"
php should include /root/c/c.php

Actual result:
--------------
/root/a.php includes:   "b/b.php"
/root/b/b.php includes: "../c/c.php"
php attempts to include /c/c.php
