Shall I submit such a patch towards rfn-eshadow.el, for the sake of the
upcoming release?

Honestly, I do not understand in detail the "underlying problem". I
guess we need to find out, what are separators in Tramp wrt completion
tables, and how to handle them. Note, that I'm re-introducing multi-hops
in Tramp these days (outside the Emacs trunk), which introduces another
separator "|". Likely, the "underlying problem" will be more evident then.
