On Windows it's the directory that contains the zip file or directory with __main__.py, not the current directory. This seems normal to me. The directory or zip file is effectively executing as a script. I can understand wanting more isolated behavior in this case, i.e. make isolated mode the default when executing a directory or zip file as a script.
