Thanks for this analysis. I'll try and take a look at this in more 
detail, and perhaps refactor things a bit in this part of the code as 
you suggest. (I've wanted to clean up the Eshell history logic a bit 
already, since I'd like to make it a bit more usable when you have 
multiple Eshell buffers.)

First step though is for me to write up a few regression tests, I think. 
That should make it easier to do some refactoring without breaking anything.
