Isn't it?
And how much sense does it make? The root value is most of the time ok, unless a process runs under chroot. The cwd value on the other hand... /proc is a virtual, Cygwin-only directory and isn't a valid CWD for a non-Cygwin process. And you can't call the OS for the CWD of another process. On Windows, the CWD is a process-local concept, not supported by the kernel. Fetching the CWD of a process requires read access to the VM of a process and a bit of undocumented NT magic.
