Well, I've tried your session on a SparcStation:
[sparc]home >cd /tmp ; mkdir x ; cd x
[sparc]x >(cd ..; mv x y )
[sparc]x >cd .
: No such file or directory
[sparc]x >ls -lid . ../y
325 drwxr-xr-x 2 schweika 32 Feb 12 01:42 ./
325 drwxr-xr-x 2 schweika 32 Feb 12 01:42 ../y/
[sparc]x >cd ../y
[sparc]y >cd .
[sparc]y >

I think this is a normal behaviour, isn't it ?
Or shall I report it to SUN ? ;-)
