Actually, that's false.  It will delay turning
`ansi-color-for-comint-mode' on for all comint-based modes until
`shell-mode' is run.  Instead you could do:

(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda ()
                             (make-local-variable 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode)
                             (ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)))
