Emacs init files (~/.emacs or ~/.emacs.d/init.el) are executed quite
early in the start-up process and you don't see the effect of
previous-buffer function call. See info node "(elisp) Startup Summary"
or page
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Startup-Summary.html
for more info.
If you are trying to start shell buffer the simplest way is probably to
start Emacs with this option:
emacs -f shell
