Both 'M-x shell' and 'M-x R'
are based on "comint" , and we do change emacs variables
with names "comint-...".
However, comint has been designed (AFAIK by making all these
variables ``buffer-local'') such that you can have several
comint processes with different settings and shouldn't get
any problems.
I've never heard of problems like these, and cannot even try to
reproduce them.
The two Windows-using ESS developers are now at the joint
meetings and won't get around to fix your problem easily.
I notice from your e-mail that your emacs stems from "MinGW" and
your shell from "Cygwin". I've heard that mixing the two does
lead to problems....
Maybe you ask on ESS-help for advice from users using such
shells on Windows?
{ESS-bugs is just gatewayed to the small group of ESS developers}
