I wasn't involved in the early jail stuff, but I'll venture it was because chroot(2) also doesn't chdir to the new root, and jail originally grew out of chroot. The difference is the chroot(2) man page does specifically mention that the current directory isn't changed, and you're right that jail(2) should as well. - Jamie
