I've just tried to convert Eshell to use lexical-binding and it appears
that this problem would indeed be fixed by such a change (if someone has
some kind of test suite for Eshell it would be very helpful, since
changing it to use lexical-binding is not completely trivial and might
introduce unexpected regressions).
