Fedora 20 minimal install: default user directory oddity

Hey all.
I fedup'd from F18 to 20 a couple of weeks ago (suprisingly smooth process)
but decided to blow it all away in favor of a F20 minimal install as I am
"fed up" with Gnome ;-)
So, here we are on a minimal install with no DM or DE, just i3wm with
agetty --auto-login as a quick & dirty autologin solution.
Overall everything works swimmingly, quite pleased with the setup.
One issue has me puzzled, however. When I open up a terminal (or even from
a tty) by default I am placed in slash root vs. my user directory.
The workaround I'm using is to stick a "cd $HOME" in the last line of my
.bashrc
What is causing this? Does one need to login via a DM in order to get
placed in user home directory? If so, why does a tty session default to
slash root?
Thanks for an explanation if you've got one.
