Well, I met with Miles Bader who, it turns out, wrote major portions of shell-mode. I didn't know this beforehand so it was a pleasant surprise. I demo'd the problems for him; he had a bit of trouble though because of some of the oddities of running Emacs on OS X; he first thought it might have something to do with the text. He thinks it's definitely a Lisp problem, not something wonky with the terminal or anything. (This didn't surprise me much). shell-mode inherits stuff from comint-mode, and he thinks the problem lies in somebody doing a fix/kludge/improvement somewhere else which has introduced this bug to shell-mode. I'm going to point him to this thread and see if I can nudge him to diagnose the bug... it seems like about thirty minutes of poking around and he'll know what's wrong and how to fix it. ~swain
