I cannot reproduce it here. The settings you have mailed look fine.

This shouldn't be necessary, it is the default. But it doesn't harm ...

Could you, please, remove "~/.emacs.d/tramp" and start Emacs with the
"-q" option (in order to suppress your .emacs settings)? Then set your
load-path, require Tramp, and see what happens. I fear there are some
unexpected local settings.
