Did some more digging, it seems to be a bug in Process.spawn:

#!/bin/sh

cat script.rb
# >> File.write 'my_bin', 'echo "WORKS"'
# >> File.chmod 0755, 'my_bin'
# >>
# >> puts "CWD: #{Dir.pwd}"
# >> Process.spawn({'PATH' => ".:#{ENV['PATH']}"}, 'my_bin')

ruby1.9 -v
# >> ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10 revision 37606) [x86_64-darwin12.2.0]
ruby1.9 script.rb
# >> CWD: /Users/joshcheek/deleteme/ruby2-bug-test
# >> WORKS

ruby2 -v
# >> ruby 2.0.0p0 (2013-02-24 revision 39474) [x86_64-darwin12.2.0]

ruby2 script.rb
# >> CWD: /Users/joshcheek/deleteme/ruby2-bug-test
