I could reproduce & fix it in recent Tramp sources. Pushed to the
repositories.

Unfortunately, the fix cannot be backported to Emacs 29 trivially. So
you might try either Emacs 30 or Tramp 2.7 from the respective git
repositories. Or you wait a little bit, until Tramp 2.7.1 appears on GNU
ELPA. Planned for end of June.

Best regards, Michael.
