There was a bug in my recent changes to file-name-absolute-p. I fixed it on 
master (2019-07-26T16:46:18!eggert <at> cs.ucla.edu). Please give the new master a 
try, and thanks for reporting the problem.

I'm assuming that this bug was unrelated to Tramp's source code. Because 
file-name-absolute-p has always been system-dependent on names like "c://foo", 
Tramp does not assume that file-name-absolute-p can be applied usefully to 
remote file names.
