And I'd be surprised if shell-command-on-region did anything remotely --
I'm asking Emacs to work on something in the current buffer, which is
different from asking Emacs to execute a command in general (which is
what `M-!' does).

So I think everything here is working as designed, and I'm therefore
closing this bug report.
