Definitely not for 24.4.

Afterwards, someone could try and look at the issue in more detail, but
it's risky, since it's a fairly low-level primitive called from many
different packages.  We'd have to go and check how all these calls would
be affected.

I find it's usually a bad idea to try and do things differently based on
whether the session is interactive or not.  It's much more frequent that
the deciding factor should be "called interactively or not".
