On further reading there's additional support for the current behaviour
in the introductory section Command Search and Execution:

    "If the command name contains at least one slash, the shell
    shall execute the utility in a separate utility environment..."

So it's not as if the implementation has to detect that /usr/bin/cd is
a built-in or anything.
