Hmm... I am looking at this again, and there is actually no bug here:

1. ob-emacs-lisp.el does not support sessions, so :session *elisp* does
   not thing in this case

2. without :session, Org babel does the following:

   16.4 Environment of a Code Block
   ...
   The ‘dir’ header argument specifies the default directory during code
   block execution. If it is absent, then the directory associated with the
   current buffer is used.

So, if we ever add session feature to ob-emacs-lisp, what was tried in
the report should be doable - one could retain working directory across
source blocks. But since ob-emacs-lisp does not support sessions, the
only actual problem is the fact that :session argument is silently
ignored without bringing absence of session support to the user
attention.

Handled, on main.
