There is a check in tramp-maybe-open-connection. If Tramp opens the same
connection twice within tramp-connection-min-time-diff seconds, it is
signalled as error. If this doesn't work for you, pls send the steps you
have applied, and send the complete traces with tramp-verbose 10.

Best regards, Michael.
