Did you restart Emacs, in order to avoid stale caches?

Hmm.

They tell you to run Tramp with tramp-verbose 6, and to send the Tramp
debug buffer. Preferred directly to me, in order not to clog the mailing
list.

As usual, start with

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# emacs -Q --eval '(setq tramp-verbose 6)'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
