Because I have no idea what you're talking about.  You should know how to submit
a proper bug report by now.

Isn't your shell initialization file read, even under `M-x shell'?

If not, is this the effect you want:

(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (local-set-key "!" 'keyboard-quit)
            (local-set-key "^" 'keyboard-quit)))
