I've tried to reproduce it with the current emacs-26 branch on an Ubuntu
18.10 machine. You're on a macOS machine, but this shouldn't matter.

The problem doesn't happen to me.

Could you pls start "emacs -Q -l tramp", change the Tramp syntax, and
try to reproduce the problem? Does it still happen?

In case of yes, could you perform (setq debug-on-error t) prior the
test, and show the resulting backtrace?

Thanks, and best regards, Michael.
