In emacs-25 and master comint-highlight-prompt is prepended to
ansi-color faces used for highlighting prompts.  The user has just
to customize the comint-highlight-prompt face so that it doesn't
inherit from minibuffer-prompt and it won't clobber anything.  See

commit 792d44b3c31d2a682607ab8b79ae7d26b7402f41

So I think there's nothing to do here execept perhaps for documenting
something.
