Ah, right, the initial global value of `default-directory' is nil, but I do

(setq-default default-directory (expand-file-name "~/"))

1. `default-directory' should have a global default, see above
2. new buffers should inherit `default-directory' from the global
default instead of the previous buffer from which this one was created.

Thank you!
