In which way it isn't fixed? My local tests have shown, that an image in
a remote buffer is resized, after changing window size. Doesn't this
happen to you?

This is expected, I see them as well. My patch changes Tramp such a way,
that it prevents timers to run remote commands when they shouldn't. The
error message is the result of the patch; guilty timers must be adapted
to avoid this case.

Until now, they didn't care, and so they have blocked Emacs like in your case.
