It doesn't sound right to me to do that by default, since comint is
used for shell-like interpreters, and those tend to change directories
at will.  Which means that dir-locals for some random directory
doesn't necessarily take such modes into consideration.

If you need that for some particular use case, can't you call it from
comint-mode-hook or something?
