Thanks for the report.

How about the attached patch instead?

Skipping expand-file-name altogether would likely drop the respective 
entries from history as well.

I'm curious whether expand-file-name hits the remote every time when 
called, though (100 times the latency would be a wait too long). If you 
have remote entries in history, could you try and see how the 
performance is when working on that remote, too?
