If the shell supports it then the -l extension (e.g. bash) can enable
it to be a login shell and then it would be the same.

  ssh -t someserver "cd $(pwd) && exec -l $SHELL"

However that does make for a funny looking $0.

  echo $0
  -/bin/bash

For me the following works:

  ssh -t someserver "cd $(pwd) && exec -l \$0"
  $ echo $0
  -bash
