I think also that doing the text property check following the regexp
search doesn't really make sense, one or the other should be used, not
both:

Subject: [PATCH v2] Make eshell-next-prompt more reliable (Bug#27405)

* lisp/eshell/em-prompt.el (eshell-next-prompt): Search for
`eshell-prompt-regexp' (and `read-only' text-property if
`eshell-highlight-prompt' is set) rather than trying to use
`forward-paragraph'.
(eshell-previous-prompt): Don't count prompt on current line.
