This is a side effect of your gateway solution. Tramp expects that a
connection is closed when you finish the shell. In your case, the
gateway asks again for a new host.

Is this a problem?

That's not Tramp. Tramp implements just some basic functions according
to the API. It offers two implementations for remote processes, one
implementation for `process-file' (synchronous call), and one
implementation for `start-file-process' (asynchronous call).

"M-x compile" launches the asynchronous version. And so serves Tramp.
