I haven't noticed such a change (it would be a weird thing to do IMO),
I'd check what eg emacs 24.3 or an xterm does when opened from the Dock.
(Maybe you have something in .emacs that changes PWD?)

AFAIK, It uses whatever working directory the launcher sets up,
which I guess is HOME in 99+% of cases.
