Strange ... why does it echo the target dir? On which system / bash version are you?

ah! its probably cos I'm using CDPATH:

If a non-empty directory name from CDPATH is used, or if - is the first argument,
and the directory change is successful, the absolute  pathname of the new working
directory is written to the standard output.
