The difference is that /bin/pwd gives, unlike pwd, the "true" path (without symlinks).Like pwd -P. Though if $PWD is no longer accurate, pwd works like pwd -P.
Yes, bash's built-in pwd assumes -L by default (which is what POSIX mandates), and coreutils' pwd assumes -P by default. POSIX requires support for both -L and -P, so the safe fix here is to replace /bin/pwd by pwd -P.
