With M-x term I get:

$ echo $TERM
eterm-color
$ echo $EMACS
22.1.1 (term:0.96)

And the "script" command reveals that bash sends SUB //home/micah CR LF.

With M-x shell I get:

$ echo $TERM
dumb
$ echo $EMACS
t

And no special path stuff is sent.

With M-x terminal I get:

$ echo $TERM
emacs-em7955

$ echo $EMACS

$

And no special path stuff is sent.
