So it must be fixed there.

I don't believe we shall hack shell-mode in any way. default-directory
is a fundamental concept in Emacs. ansi-osc-directory-tracker must not
change it randomly w/o supporting remote default-directory.

I recommend you to write an Emacs bug report "Make ansi-osc.el aware of
remote directories".
