I was going through old emails and just saw this; sorry for the huge
delay in triaging this bug.

For what it's worth, I can't reproduce the original bug recipe on Emacs 25.2:

- At command prompt in shell mode ...
- Insert "echo ls".
- Type RET.
- (Emacs submits whole command line "echo ls".)
- (Shell gives output line "ls".)
- Go up to output line "ls" (C-p).
- Go to end of output line (C-e).
- Insert " -la".
- Type RET.

The original bug report says

     3.5 PROBLEM: Note that Emacs submits just " -la", instead of whole
         command line "ls -la" (as intended, expected, and in Emacs 20).

Instead, I see the output of ls -la.
