Hmm.  I have the same version, but a few remarks: because IIRC this was
an issue with tarballs, "cvs export" should be tested, not checkout. 
And for me this works against a local repository:

  $ mkdir foo
  $ cd foo
  $ mkdir test
  $ cvs export -r HEAD -d test/path path_in_repository

Against a remote pserver repository it doesn't work for me, but that
shouldn't be an issue because only local repositories are supported by
CVSweb.  FWIW, checkout produces the same results (works with local, not
with remote).

Could you try with a local repository (eg. locally on your CVS server)? 
The addition of chdir() is probably safe but I'd like to verify that the
issue exists first.
