I've installed a fix that sets process-connection-type to nil for
every element of a pipeline but the first. Or do you think the first
element should have p-c-t nil as well?

Currently, the first/last elements in an eshell pipeline have:
stdin = tty/non-tty, stdout = tty/non-tty;
whereas in a "real" shell pipeline they have:
stdin = tty/non-tty, stdout = non-tty/tty;

ie I chose to get the input right over the output.
