1.  I don't understand why your renaming of the folder rather than the binary
(your second test scenario) didn't reproduce the problem, yet it did for me. 
There might be two issues lurking here.

Care to retry by following my steps?  

2.  I suspect the program is launched correctly, and the correct path
manipulation (handling the / special case) is done by the loader, but the
dynamic linker isn't using the same logic, and, in particular the path
manipulation logic isn't called.   

I seem to recall seeing this before on another non OS X Unix system - the
linker calls a different, conceptually lower level system call that doesn't do
substitutions on its paths.  I never got a good answer as to why there was a
difference; it didn't seemed right to me, but I didn't pursue it.
