POSIX feature or Bug?

In 2.0.20 I tried "cd /tmp; mkdir X; cd X; rmdir /tmp/X" with
success. A subsequent "pwd" complains about the working directory...

If it's not a feature, my NULL-understanding of the kernel internal
suggests taht either the inode of the current working directory isn't
locked, or the lock is ignored when removing a directory.

Please tell me what's correct.
