bug#27612: 25.2; invoking term from a remote eshell uses the local path

I tried that and my dummy test case suddenly worked. So that's enough to make it work, but more complex programs like 'top' or 'ipython' seem to have the output mangled. For example if I now do `term bash`

```
$ echo -e "1"
             1
              $ echo -e "\r1"
1
```

So something is going on with how the newlines are interpreted in the terminal. This does not happen if I run them locally.

I can try playing with this for some time and maybe send a patch.

Thanks for the pointer!
