According to git bisect, the problematic commit is:

commit a1bbc490155b61a634a6d0b165000ce35b93aa35 (HEAD, refs/bisect/bad)
Author: Michael Albinus <michael.albinus <at> gmx.de>

    Fix Bug#29579

    * lisp/files.el (file-name-non-special):
    Inhibit `file-name-handler-alist' only for some operations.
    Add missing operations.  (Bug#29579)

[...]

which makes sense because it touches the part of the code that's causing
issues.
Since this commit was a bug fix for a related issue with quoted file names,
reverting it is probably not the best way forward. We should push a fix and
make a new pretest.
