Maybe it is a Tramp problem. If I do the following, I can reproduce it:

# emacs -Q -l tramp

OTOH, the following Emacs invocation doesn't show the problem:

# emacs -Q -l tramp --eval '(setq tramp-mode nil)'

All tests performed with Emacs 27.0.50, but this shouldn't matter. Will
dig further.

Best regards, Michael.
