My patch does not solve this scenario, but on the other hand, when I try
this experiment in a terminal with bash, not putting a reset does give a
coloured prompt, i.e., in the following the 2nd "~/src$" is in yellow:

    ~/src$ echo $'\e[33mhello'
    hello
    ~/src$ 

So should eshell really be any different?
