No. `non-essential' doesn't dictate what Tramp shall do, for example
whether it could open a new connection. It tells Tramp something about
the context ("Be careful, we are in file name completion!"). Tramp
decides then, whether it could perform an operation, or not.

Seeing a slash in the local file name part, as when you type
"/ssh:host:tmp/em TAB", gives Tramp the confidence that it is safe to
open a connection to "host".

I was too sloppy with my statement above. The first slash I've meant is
NOT the slash in "/ssh".

Best regards, Michael.
