Hm.  Looks like Tramp sent strange code to the remote end.  Weird.
Can you send me the contents of the *debug tramp/foo* buffer?  (If
there is no such buffer, set tramp-debug-buffer to t.)

I think it should be \\] instead of \].  Otherwise, it seems okay.
Hm.  You're matching at end of line.  I used to do that, too, but
there were problems.  So I changed it back to not require match at
end of line.  Can you look in the lisp/ChangeLog to see if you find
anything about this?  It's been some months ago.

I don't think so.
