I cannot reproduce it with "emacs -Q". The diff uses respective labels,
but that's it. It uses temporary local files. And the contents looks OK
to me, like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff -u --label /ssh\:ford\:/share/albinus/mail --label \#\<buffer\ mail\> /tmp/tramp.29783xKm /tmp/buffer-content-29783-Us
--- /ssh:ford:/share/albinus/mail
