It is user configurable through 'display-buffer-alist, see my other
reply to this thread. To prevent creation of duplicate windows showing
the same shell buffer, do
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
'("\\`\\*shell\\*" display-buffer-reuse-window))
For old behaviour of popping up a new shell window, do
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
'("\\`\\*shell\\*"
(display-buffer-reuse-window display-buffer-pop-up-window)))
The same can be done for eshell, terminal and most other buffers
displayed with 'display-buffer-same-window'.

I'm personally against adding such an user option.
If it were added for M-x shell, eshell and term, the same reasoning
could be used to add it for M-x run-scheme, dired, dunnet and all the
other places using 'pop-to-buffer-same-window'. This would add up to a
lot of variables for little benefit since we can already customize
window pop-up behaviour of all these commands with
'display-buffer-alist'.
