I apologize for missing this proposal earlier.

I think that actions within the script shouldn't change the current 
working directory, and that consequently, ones that do should be invoked 
from within a sub-shell.  The "source" bits that are concatenated into a 
final +INSTALL or +DEINSTALL script can be hard to predict, so I think 
it's reasonable that each bit enforce the post-condition that the 
working directory isn't changed.
