A simpler way to reproduce the bug is to say

(require 'em-tramp)

This is because that file defines eshell/su, and when that's defined,
the command is passed onto the shell directly without any parsing (and
therefore no prompting).

The logic is in

(defun eshell-invoke-directly (command)
...
         (fboundp (intern-soft (concat "eshell/" name))))))

I'm not an eshell user, so I'm not sure what's up with that?
