I don't think anything can be done about this.  Emacs needs to know the name
of the current directory.  I would call this a system bug, in that it's
unreasonable if the system cannot tell you the name of the current directory.

The solution I would recommend is to turn on read-permission for the 
directories involved.  Down with fascism.
