Oh, that's clear, silly me.  So, you must indeed use the local
parameter.  I think something like this should DTRT:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-rename-buffer-to-curdir (&optional _string)
  "Change Shell buffer's name to current directory."
  (message "%s" default-directory)
  (rename-buffer (concat "*shell " default-directory "*")))

(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (my-rename-buffer-to-curdir)
            (add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
                      #'my-rename-buffer-to-curdir nil t)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

How do you want it to behave?
