I haven't checked emerge-files, but it looks like it calls
`shell-command' being in buffer of the first file. `shell-command' is
handed to Tramp when `default-directory' of that buffer is a Tramp
file name. That makes the difference.

Looks like.

Maybe I did say it before already: I'm a happy ediff user for years;
no such problems ever. You could give it a try.
But anyway, the emerge-file problems should be fixed. I've cut
tramp-devel from the addressees of this thread.
