I am not sure about the right approach of mixing streams.
What we currently do is directing stderr to a separate file. See
`org-babel--shell-command-on-region' and `org-babel-eval'.

Also, note that our error display code is not only used by shell
scripts. Also, by other interpreted languages like python. And we use
compilation-mode, which provides reasonable fontification in many cases.
