Difference between shell-command and shell-command-on-region in TRAMP buffer.

[Francis Litterio]

If I visit a remote file using TRAMP, and type:

  ESC ESC (shell-command "pwd") RET

I see the output of the "pwd" command executed on the remote host.
But if I type:

  ESC ESC (shell-command-on-region (point-min) (point-max) "pwd") RET

the buffer *Shell Command Output* contains the output of the "pwd"
command executed on the local host.

Is this by design, or is there a bug/omission in TRAMP?
