Description
In a normal run, the directory of the script being run is prepended to sys.path (if no script is given, the current directory . is prepended). Command-line option -I (Isolated mode) should inhibit this behaviour (among other things).
However, the script's directory is added nevertheless.
This may have impact on the functioning of venv, which uses option -I.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by tracing IronPython's command-line handling for isolated mode and the code that initializes sys.path; compare normal and -I invocations. Done means the script directory is absent from sys.path under -I, with a regression test covering the behavior.
