I've got an answer from the bash maintainer. He confirms the problem,
and he has sent also a patch. I've tested the patch; it fixes the
problem in my environment with bash 5.0.

Will forward that message. So we have to wait for a new bash 5.0.x
version which fixes this. In the meantime, I'll write a warning in the
Tramp doc.

Thanks again for your testing, and best regards, Michael.
