Tramp 2.7.1 has appeared on GNU ELPA. I'm closing this bug therefore.

Best regards, Michael.

To reproduce:

1. Start emacs with emacs -Q

2. Eval the following:

(require 'tramp)
;; Enable direct-async-process for all SSH connections
(add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties
              (list "/ssh:.*" "direct-async-process" t))

3. Start a Tramp SSH connection: C-x C-f /ssh:some.host.com:

4. Start a shell buffer with M-x shell. Choose sh or bash as remote
shell (haven't tested with others)

Expected behavior:

Shell buffer shows a shell on the remote host. Job control (C-c C-z),
fg, bg, etc. all work.

Actual behavior:

Shell buffer starts a shell, but shows errors at the top of the buffer:

sh: cannot set terminal process group (128765): Inappropriate ioctl for  
device
sh: no job control in this shell

Shell mostly works, but job control features don't work.
C-c C-z does nothing
C-c C-c kills the shell, rather than the currently running job
fg and bg give errors like:
sh: fg: no job control
