Was first discussed in IRC, so I had a head start on the patch.

bin_cd may update pwd after calling cd_new_pwd which calls set_pwd_env.
Since bin_cd is the only caller of cd_new_pwd, I think it's safe to move
that code into cd_new_pwd prior to the oldpwd, pwd, new_pwd shift. This
should also call the chpwd hook with the right value.

Seems to fix the issue locally. I know Daniel will rightfully ask for
a new test, so I'll work on that tonight.
