I've checked the Tramp code, and it looks like you haven't a proper
program to encode/decode data on the remote host. This is similar to
bug#35639, so I will merge both bugs.

That bug contains also a patch which improves the situation. You might
check, whether it helps also in your case.

Best regards, Michael.
