I cannot reproduce it locally. Using a recent GNU Emacs 26.0.50.1, I run:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# emacs -Q /sudo::

M-x eshell
/sudo:address@hidden:/root $ *pwd
/root
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Could you, pls, show your use case? Starting with "emacs -Q" shall
avoid user specific side effects.
