Finally, it is much simpler than expected. The Tramp manual tells us TheTruth™,
(info "(tramp) Frequently Asked Questions")

   • Why saved multi-hop file names do not work in a new Emacs session?

     When saving ad-hoc multi-hop TRAMP file names (*note Ad-hoc
     multi-hops::) via bookmarks, recent files, filecache, bbdb, or
     another package, use the full ad-hoc file name including all hops,
     like ‘/ssh:bird <at> bastion|ssh:news.my.domain:/opt/news/etc’.

     Alternatively, when saving abbreviated multi-hop file names
     ‘/ssh:news <at> news.my.domain:/opt/news/etc’, the user option
     ‘tramp-save-ad-hoc-proxies’ must be set non-‘nil’ value.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If you document to set tramp-save-ad-hoc-proxies to non-nil it should
work out-of-the-box.

Best regards, Michael.
