This looks like a workaround rather than a fix.
eshell-do-eval supposedly handles code that uses macros.  `lambda` is
just one such macro (and a very simple one at that), so if the `lambda`
macro is not properly handled, then most likely there are other macros
which are similarly mishandled.

Agreed. This is just intended as a slightly cleaner workaround than the previous one, but it's not a true fix. I think a real fix would be significantly more complex (e.g. using generator.el), and that might be better to track in a separate bug.
