I actually have a workaround, and the premise of it resides in the special
conditions I included for the repeating the problem. In order to repeat the
problem, you have to specifically use a default-directory that is set to
the remote+sudo+homedir format, and not allow something like `(cd path)' to
first resolve the home directory to an explicit path. So there's my
workaround, for multishell - use `(cd path)', rather than directly setting
default-directory.

Upshot is that I believe that there still is a bug worth unravelling, in
the way that shells start when default-directory is set to
remote+sudo+homedir format, but I can avoid that by using `cd'.
