I thought that we'd been over this ground before. In /bin/sh on
Solaris 2.5 to 8 (at least) and on ISC, if the builtin test fails for
a syntactic reason the rest of the line, including semicolons, is
discarded.
An "echo $?" on a fresh line after "test -e /" does still result in
"1". So were you to split the check into two commands the behaviour
of "test -e" would be assessed correctly.
BTW, if you insert "/usr/xpg4/bin" before "/bin" in tramp-remote-path
then you've a better chance of finding a decent sh on Solaris.
