(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

It looks like this was fixed in a patch series ending with:

commit e71c7a7c600bae3337de95d193dd106e9bfa2b4c
Author:     Eli Zaretskii <eliz <at> gnu.org>

    Fix default-directory of buffers visiting files in renamed directories

Do you still see this problem in the current Emacs tree?
