Hi Philipp,

On windows,
pdflatex --recorder --output-directory=../b \documentclass{minimal}\csname @@end\endcsname

creates ../b/minimal.log and ../b/pdflatex<proc-id>.fls.
Current directory is empty.

On windows
pdftex --recorder --output-directory=../b \end

creates ../b/texput.log and ../b/pdflatex<proc-id>.fls.
Current directory is empty.

On windows,
e:\send\kkk>pdflatex -recorder -output-directory=../b
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (Web2C 2010)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
**^Z

! End of file on the terminal... why?

creates ../b/pdflatex<proc-id>.fls and no log file at all.
This case is the same as your case.

Best,
Akira
