OK, I found an easy way to unwittingly change the current directory.  It 
doesn't appear to be documented:

...but calling the open (and presumably save, though I didn't check that)
dialog changes the current dir.  I added the snippet below to the end of
my little test app, and selected a file to open.  The current directory
was where the file was.

include win32lib.ew

void = getOpenFileName( 0, "", {})
checkdir()
