If that's the case, then this is just bug#56013, which you linked to. 
That's not fixed yet, and there's not a great general solution for it 
(at least not one without extensive changes to process.c, which I'd 
rather avoid). A workaround in Eshell would be to change 
process-connection-type based on the program name, but in my tests that 
interacts badly with shell scripts, so would require a bit more work to 
support things like xdg-open.
