I overlooked it, thank you!

Emacs 24.4 from Debian Jessie
(tramp 2.2.9-24.4)

But it was not an issue with tramp (and I'm not sure what exactly where
the issue was)
But I finally got tramp, unchanged, to work on the various servers by
tweaking their default locale.

It's not quite clear what exactly was the server's side significant
change (among dpkg-reconfigure locales & update-locale).
I'd say that was an unknown edge-case.


but thank you for the answer!
