Well, an off-the-cuff idea could be that you are using shells on 2 of the
machines that set the environment variable called 'PWD'.  Ksh tends to do
this.

GNU Emacs takes notice of the 'PWD' environment variable which overrides the
pwd of the directory that you started it from.

Type unset PWD or unsetenv PWD and see if this helps.
