Ah, thanks -- this is the missing piece, then.  Is this ^M specific to
OS X, or does it happen on GNU/Linux as well?  We should probably add
this info to the bug report (CC'ed).

In any case, I think it's GUD that needs to explicitly set the
decoding part of process-coding-system to handle CRLF, either on OS X
or on all platforms.  The two places you show whose changes contribute
to this problem are too general to modify them now in order to solve
this specific problem, IMO.
