[OE-core] devshell problems after distro upgrade openSUSE Leap 42.3 -> 15.0

[Steffen Sledz]

After upgrading my build system from openSUSE Leap 42.3 to openSUSE Leap 15.0 a

  bitbake foo -c devshell

no longer switches to the related work directory. The devshell is opened in the original directory without any error or warning instead.

Any hints what's wrong here or how I can debug this behaviour?

BTW: The problem ocurs with pyro, rocko, and sumo branches. Here's one of the configurations.
