Tramp handles this case, if instructed. Read the Tramp manual, chapter
"Frequesntly Asked Questions":

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
        − To deactivate TRAMP for some look-alike remote file names,
          set ‘tramp-ignored-file-name-regexp’ to a proper regexp in
          ‘.emacs’.  *Note*, that we don’t use
          ‘customize-set-variable’, in order to avoid loading TRAMP.

               (setq tramp-ignored-file-name-regexp "\\`/ssh:example\\.com:")

          This is needed, if you mount for example a virtual file
          system on your local host’s root directory as
          ‘/ssh:example.com:’.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I'm closing the bug, because there's no error. The problem was discussed
in bug#31489 initially.

Best regards, Michael.
