--- Comment #1 from Mark Johnston <markj at FreeBSD.org> ---
The code suggests otherwise:

        physical = 1;
        while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "LP")) != -1)
                switch (ch) {
                case 'L':   
                        physical = 0;
                        break;
                case 'P':
                        physical = 1;                                  
                        break;

It also appears to work as documented:

> mkdir foo
> ln -s foo bar
> cd bar
> /bin/pwd
/home/mark/foo
> /bin/pwd -L
/home/mark/bar
> 

I suspect the problem is that the shell may provide its own pwd builtin which
does indeed behave differently.
