Bug: when running from Emacs, --watch-files doesn't work

Issue

I tried running aider from inside Emacs, first through aider.el Emacs package, but also directly as an Emacs comint process or from the Emacs shell. In all cases aider work properly except that --watch-files does't work. Whatever ai! comments I write in files, aider doesn't detect the change and doesn't react.

When I start aider with the same configuration directly from the console, everything works fine.

I'm on Windows. I always start aider by wrapping it in a shell script, where I explicitly set all command line parameters.
