I've debugged it a little bit.

If you step through `eshell-remote-command', you'll see that Tramp's
`shell-command' is called. It returns the output of the command into
the output buffer " *eshell remote output*", and eshell reads it from
there.

Why it isn't inserted into the eshell buffer, I haven't followed,
because I'm not so familiar with eshell.
