It doesn't look proper to me; we cannot expect that both host-port and
user-domain are always non-nil.

I have no idea yet what goes wrong, I'm trying to assemble a recipe for
reproduction first. Perhaps you can send the value of
tramp-default-proxies-alist at the moment everything goes wrong.

Do you use several multi-hops in parallel? Something like
"/ssh:user <at> server|sudo::" and "/ssh:anotheruser <at> anotherserver|sudo::"?

And while it might be good to have it fixed in Emacs 29.1, it is not a
must. There are regular Tramp releases on GNU ELPA, which could fix it
also after the Emacs 29.1 release.

Best regards, Michael.
