I think popd pops off of the directory history stack, rather than the directory hierarchy itself; so if you do this:
$ pushd /tmp
$ pushd
$ pushd projects/
followed by popd; popd, you'll end up in /tmp/ once again. I'm guessing that autopushd aliases cd to pushd to make this more automatic; in zsh cd does that by default.

correct, popd uses the pushd history; it does not use the directory hierarchy. Use
cd ..for that.
