Eshell doesn't call preoutput-filter functions in the context of the eshell buffer. This breaks the xterm color filtering when the eshell buffer is updated when the eshell buffer is not currently focused.
I intend to submit this fix upstream when I get a chance but an advice fixes it for now. The other fix is to move the xterm color filter to a output-filter function (instead of preoutput-filter) but those operate on strings that have already been inserted into the buffer.
