Not sure if it really happens. But if we jump from worktree is inside original cwd and we have to jump to worktree, we set empty prefix, not "../../../" one. So we can't refer back to files relative to original cwd with prefix. I was kinda hoping "super prefix" would solve it, but that one seems designed specifically for submodules.
