One down, 333 to go!  Hm.  So I squashed another bug.

The debug buffer contains all the Tramp messages from the *Messages*
buffer...  But in this case, the backtrace did the trick.

Tramp does not support (at the moment) the time stamp comparison
between Tramp files and non-Tramp files.

Maybe you can avoid this by setting backup-by-copying to t?  (Or to
nil if it is t now.)

I wish I had time to augment file-newer-than-file-p for this case :-|
