I want say that some useful terminal ESC sequences Emacs shell-mode
can handle properly.

Other like generated by clear is not.

But in shell-mode Emacs set TERM=dumb, from manual for 'clear'
it uses terminfo db, so must not generate any output.

So or your terminfo db damaged or you have invalid TERM env var in 
shell-mode
(for example it can be set in ~/.bashrc).
