The core of the problem is in how Emacs comint is sending multiline
input. My earlier example with M-x shell also demonstrates what is
penning. comint.el basically simulates user input verbatim, as if you
typed the whole thing symbol by symbol, including newlines.
And it makes total sense as long as you are actually typing things
interactively in the comint buffer.
ob-shell :session in this case gets a bit weird. On one hand, it
faithfully simulates interactive session. On the other hand, it does not
feel fully interactive from user perspective, as you send a bunch of
commands together within a single source block.
One way to avoid the situations like with mpv could be packing the whole
code block into script and then sending that script to comint session
buffer. But then people who would like to actually switch to that buffer
and work with it manually will get confused about what is going on
there. (see `org-babel-switch-to-session' and
`org-babel-switch-to-session-with-code').

Is there such a function? For all possible POSIX shells?

Again, do you know how to do this?
