tab-always-indent is a user-interface preference and definitely
shouldn't be overridden by .dir-locals.  (Personally, I would go crazy
if I had tab-always-indent set to nil.)

I'll add this for shell-mode.  As I pointed out in my reply to Dmitry,
this shouldn't be set globally.  Are there any other specific modes it
should be set for?
