In the particular case of shell that would not cause trouble anyway;
shell for the same buffer name just pops to that buffer, and C-u M-x
shell calls `generate-new-buffer-name' and bypasses uniquify. AFAICS,
eshell does the same thing (C-u M-x eshell brings a "*eshell*<2>"
buffer).

But this is all best left post-release, for the introduction of a new variable.

I'm closing this bug now, as the patch is already installed.
