It is expected because 'shell-mode' derives from 'comint-mode' and
'comint-mode' sets correctly INSIDE_EMACS; as the documentation
claims.

However, 'eshell' uses 'esh-mode' which derives from
'fundamental-mode' and INSIDE_EMACS is set nowhere (well, if it is, I
miss where).
Therefore, the culprit is the upstream 'eshell' and it is not Guix specific.
