I couldn't reproduce it here, running Tramp 2.1.15-pre. According to the ChangeLog, there was a bug fix which could be related, but I don't remember the exact details. Do you see a chance to check it with that version (from CVS)? If not, or if the problem still exists with that Tramp version, please set tramp-verbose to at least 6, and rerun your test. I would be interested in the resulting trace.
