This is what I see when I open a new tab from a tab which is root

SUMMARY
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a tab, and type `sudo -i`
2. From that tab, open a new tab
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
New tab fails with permission errors. Furthermore, when I exit the root shell in that tab, any further attempts to open a new tab still fails with the same error.

EXPECTED RESULT
A new tab should open as usual to the user's home directory

Fallback to home dir if initial working dir is inaccessible

In cases where the initial working is inaccessible by the current
user, we should fallback to their home directory.

This can easily be triggered by changing the working dir to an
otherwise inaccessible dir for the current user (e.g. /etc/sudoers.d
inside a root shell), followed by opening a new session.
