Okay, I follow you now.

Yes, I agree with what others have said, it's related to Emacs (probably comint-mode).  It happens with M-x shell and *not* with M-x eshell.   It's hard to reproduce with M-x term because term-char-mode doesn't allow copy-paste.  M-x with term-line-mode doesn' t print "bar".

I think it's worth reporting.  I'm headed to bed and can submit it tomorrow for you if you're not comfortable with doing it or don't have the time.

Here are the steps I followed to reproduce with M-x shell:

1. Copy the following two lines:

ssh $USER@localhost "echo foo>foo_file"
echo "bar"

2. Paste them into a shell (tested with xterm or xfce4-terminal) and press return
3. After entering the correct password, "bar" is echoed
4. Paste them into the buffer associated with M-x shell
5. After entering the correct password, "bar" is NOT echoed

Here are the steps I followed to reproduce with M-x term:

1. M-x term
2. C-c C-j to switch to term-line-mode
3. Copy the following two lines:

ssh $USER@localhost "echo foo>foo_file"
echo "bar"

4. Paste them into the buffer associated with M-x term
5. After entering the correct password, "bar" is NOT echoed
