It seems that after Tramp typed

    exec env 'ENV=' 'PS1=$ ' /bin/sh

at the remote shell, the remote shell just echoed the input, like so:

    exec env 'ENV=' 'PS1=$ ' /bin/sh\n

Note the trailing \n.

Can you reproduce this behavior by logging in manually from outside
of Emacs?  From inside of Emacs but outside of Tramp?

What's going on here?  Weird.
