That's good news!

Hm.  Can you (setq tramp-debug-buffer t) and show me a debug buffer
for the former case, and a debug buffer for the latter case, to
compare?  (Buffer *debug tramp/foo*.)

I did this because I'm lazy.  I recently added a change so that this
code is only uploaded for inline methods (not for out-of-band
methods), but at the time the code is uploaded Tramp does not know
yet whether it will use it.

I hope I will get around to improving this someday.
