This is actually expected. Without session, ob-shell discards results of
src blocks that fail and display *Error* window (empty in this case).

If you try 

  #+begin_src bash :results output
  echo one > one.txt
  echo two > two.txt
  diff one.txt two.txt || true
  #+end_src

things will work as expected.

I guess we can display a bit more info in `org-babel-eval'.

Confirmed.
I know what is the problem. It is comint sometimes throwing output
without newlines, which leads to comint-prompt-regexp not matching all
the prompts after concatenating. Will take a look tomorrow.

Better tests are always needed :)
