Hmmm. Digging through strace I found the last thing referred to was /usr/lib/perl5/auto/Cwd/Cwd.so which is part of libfile-spec-perl. Removing that resolved the problem.
So why would this module be getting touched if it's not actually in use?
That's in a distribution called Pathtools, but was originally part of the perl 5 core. Cwd and File::Spec are pretty much core modules.
Now to attempt to write a bug report that will actually be useful.
The best thing might be to construct a failing test.
