FreeDOS has a nasty behaviour: if I issue "DIR A:" and I get an error (Abort/Rety/Ignore/Fail) if I hit Abort or Fail, it does not abort but keeps asking again. That is in latest unstable, with older freecom it hangs forever.

Is this a kernel bug, a FreeCOM issue or is it unheard of?
Try FreeCOM under MSDOS then, or 4DOS (Freeware nowadays, so might be usefull for your purposes) under FreeDOS to see which component causes it. There's no official maintainer anymore for FreeCOM, unless Stephen Kaiser shows himself again. Jeremy is incorporating some minor patches, but in no way is he maintaining FreeCOM, so best way to get rid of bugs is to submit patches to him instead of relying on him to solve a specific submitted problem.

experimental FreeCOM and Kernel available at www.fdos.org/kernel

to load FreeCOM under MSDOS, specify full path:
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /P (instead of SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P)

another thing that might work is to specify /F (autofail):
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /F /MSG /P
