I haven't seen this. However, I recommend to set tramp-verbose to 6, and
rerun your test. Once you see the problem (Tramp doesn't save for the
first time), copy the Tramp debug buffer. Send it, with a precise
explanation what you have done.

If the buffer is too large, or if the buffer might contain sensible data
you like to hide, send the message directly to me.
