It is because shell builtin is doing a readlink i guess. On my system 

Node8:/var/log# /bin/pwd
/cluster/node8/var/log
Node8:/var/log# pwd
/var/log
Node8:/var/log# pwd -P
/cluster/node10/var/log
Node8:/var/log#


And the reason for the last one is 
Node8:/var/log# ls -al /cluster/node{nodenum}
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 15 2005-02-14 22:17 /cluster/node{nodenum} ->
/cluster/node10
Node8:/var/log#
