Yes, this is expected due to __getcwd(2) being incomplete.
NFS expires the directory nodes after about 10 minutes. This stops
__getcwd() working, and stops things like /proc/*/file from working. (just
try executing /usr/local/bin/something where /usr/local is NFS mounted, and
wait for ~10 minutes.. /proc/pid/file will switch to:
lr-xr-xr-x 1 test users 7 Sep 6 23:51 /proc/521/file@ -> unknown
