Subject: 28.0.50; dired-do-symlink creates invalid symlinks when using Tramp
Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2021 23:29:39 +0300

emacs -Q
open dired at /sudo::/tmp/
M-! touch foo
S (dired-do-symlink) on foo, enter /tmp/bar (without tramp prefix) at the prompt
g (refresh dired)

The result is "bar -> /sudo:root <at> fgunbin.local:/tmp/foo", which is
an invalid symlink.
