The right solution, which we've probably halfway already done if I remember correctly, is to write a Sage function called "run_command" that resets the environment as you suggest above, runs the subcommand, and returns. This should be completely transparent to the user, and should do the right thing on Linux, OS X, etc. Then the animate command would call convert via run_command instead of os.system.
