That is really simple. Put in your profile (an aditional file in /etc/profile.d/ if you want system-wide or in your own ~/.bash_profile):
[ "$PWD" = "$HOME/Desktop" ] && cd
and this will repair that damage. Similar if you are using something else for your default shell.
Neat. That fixed that problem. Thanks!

You can add a missing link yourself, or you can hack with 'alternatives' and fix that too, but this is a real PITA.
They appear to have pushed a new update for F8 to fix this: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.package.announce/9673
