I finally got around to setting up a new enough rhel with tlog enabled. Good news is the changes we did to smart_proxy_remote_execution_ssh which are going to land in Satellite 7.0 seem to fix this as well. Bad news is the changes are too large to backport so this will be a 7.0+ only thing.

Verified on Satellite 6.12 sn3, ssh job ran successfully against a host that records a tlog session and has with customizations in /etc/profile.d
