Once a shell buffer has been created, it is re-used. Even if you apply
^G, the buffer exists already.

If you want to use another buffer for your local shell, rename the
buffer *shell*.

This has nothing to do with Tramp, it doesn't know the shell
command. Maybe we need different shell buffers for different remote and
local hosts. Pls write an Emacs bug if you believe so.

Best regards, Michael.
