[JENKINS-58367] cwd set by exws set is replaced by withEnv and withCredentials steps

Hi, 

I am experiencing an unexpected change of the current working directory when withEnv or withCredentials steps are used.

dir step is a viable workaround, but I am wondering if there is a more straightforward explanation and solution.

Thank you!

def extWorkspace = exwsAllocate diskPoolId: 'workspace-pool', strategy: fastestWriteSpeed()

stage('init') {
  node('brenode') {
    println pwd() //prints local workspace (${JENKINS_HOME}/workspace/${JOB_NAME})
    exws (extWorkspace) {
      println pwd() //prints external workspace ${physical_path}/${JOB_NAME}/${BUILD_NUMBER}
      withEnv(["1=1"])

{          println pwd() //prints again local workspace!       }

    }
  }
}

Beginne damit, die Pipeline mit exws, withEnv und withCredentials zu reproduzieren, und vergleiche pwd() vor und innerhalb jedes Schritts. Verfolge die beteiligten Einstiegspunkte von external-workspace-manager-plugin und workflow-basic-steps-plugin bei der Verarbeitung des Workspace-Kontexts. Als abgeschlossen gilt die Aufgabe, wenn der externe Workspace das aktuelle Verzeichnis bleibt, während Umgebungsvariablen- oder Credential-Schritte ausgeführt werden.
