This one is of no interest this time.

Let's see what happened:

> 08:34:19.246330 tramp-send-command (6) # exec su - root
> 08:34:34.147941 tramp-process-actions (6) # 
> Password: 
> [30;41m~ [0;31m‚ [m

Looks, like beside the su password, there are some further escape
sequences (color?) in the shell output, which disturb Tramp. Pls
suppress them; the Tramp manual shall tell you how.
