Thanks. So it is related to `tramp-open-shell', which comes just prior
these commands.

I've tried it with several configurations, but I could not reproduce the
problem locally. I suppose this behaviour is related to the used shell
on the remote host. What is /bin/sh on your remote machine?

So again, could you pls start a new Emacs, set tramp-verbose to 6, and
connect to the remote host where it happens?. And I need the full debug
buffer then, because there are a lot of other information which could
tell us what's up. If you have privacy concerns showing this publicly,
pls send it to me directly.

Best regards, Michael.
