Noam is right. The bug exist "since ever", and it wasn't detected in the
wild but when I was working on my tramp-tests. So it might be OK to
revert it in the emacs-26 branch.

Agreed. I expect some broken tests in tramp-tests then (IIRC, copy-file
and rename-file were affected). I will skip those tests for Emacs 26,
immediately after the revert has happened. Pls ping me when it is
reverted.

Best regards, Michael.
