I see. But in Emacs 25.0.50.1 the $EMACS variable is not intialized,
when running shell, but the INSIDE_EMACS is:
$ env | grep EMACS
INSIDE_EMACS=25.0.50.1,comint
Also I've noticed that exporting COLORTERM with value "dumb"
forces ls(1) to emit color sequences in my case. So, I've added the
following
line to .bashrc:
(echo -n $INSIDE_EMACS | grep comint) > /dev/null && export COLORTERM=dumb
Shrug...

Thank you! These solution can be useful indeed!
