Well, it couldn't detect your root shell for one reason or another, or 
rather it detected it as SHELL_SH and doesn't know what to do with it.

You can try the patch from this ticket and see if it works for you:

There is some work done there to make subshell detection much more robust.

In the mean time, you can of course always use bash explicitly:

     sudo /bin/bash -c mc
