You're welcome :-)

In general the traces look good, although I'm not sure whether the
//DIRED// positions are valid in your example.

I've checked the ChangeLog, and there has been some work on
tramp-sh-handle-insert-directory since Tramp 2.4.3. Perhaps you try the
recent Tramp 2.5.0.2 from GNU ELPA, and check whether it behaves better?
If not, it would be at least more simple to debug and fix on top of this
Tramp version.

Best regards, Michael.
