OK, then please keep it.

The point is, that "stty -echo" is needed to understand sent commands
and their replies. An echoed command would make the job harder for Tramp.

OTOH, because there is no echo anymore, there is also no newline between
sent commands. If you have commands with no reply, you could get the
"double prompt", if you don't accept every prompt after every command.

Hmm, there is also a kind of "self-curing" command. Could you, please, apply

  (setq tramp-discard-garbage t)

before opening the remote connection?

Thanks; it is always a problem for me to test on that system.
