Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2016 23:39:24 +0900 (JST)

emacs -Q -eval "(setq async-shell-command-buffer 'new-buffer)"

I) M-&: i=0; while true; do echo $i; i=$((i+1)); sleep 1;done RET
;; Repeating the command will not prompt for confirmation
II) M-&: M-p RET ; create buffer "*Async Shell Command*<2>".
III) M-:(let ((dir (expand-file-name default-directory)))
          (find-file (concat "/sudo::") dir)) RET
IV) M-&: M-p RET
;; Received prompt to kill buffer "*Async Shell Command*".

In IV) the machine is the same as before and the original user
still is the owner of the Emacs session: i would expect IV) create
the buffer "*Async Shell Command*<3>" without any prompt.
Even if i set `async-shell-command-buffer' to 'new-buffer in
/root/.emacs i receive the prompt.
