It is that simple because the main thread and the REPL thread share the same parameter cells.  With the b semantics you can’t implement this because current-directory is a predefined parameter and you can’t wrap it in a “box” to get the sharing semantics (more generally semantics b doesn’t scale because even if you could easily add the “box” to this parameter, you would also need to change all the places that access the current-directory in all your code and libraries, some of which are part of the runtime system that you can’t change).

I have just noticed that this wouldn't work reliably, would it? The
setting of parameters needn't be an atomic operation, so one of the
two threads may see a corrupted state of the current directory. Or do
you want to make setting parameters an atomic operation, which would
probably involve locks around every reading and writing of parameters?
