I've fixed ansi-osc-directory-tracker as described above, and started a
test as given in the recipe. Testing on a remote host, different from my
local one.

There is the following code in ansi-osc-directory-tracker:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (when (and (string= (url-type url) "file")
               (or (null (url-host url))
                   ;; Use `downcase' to match `url-generic-parse-url' behavior
                   (string= (url-host url) (downcase (system-name)))))
      ...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But on the remote host, neither (null (url-host url)) nor (string=
(url-host url) (downcase (system-name))) return t; simply because the
host name is not nil or equal to (system-name).

Instead, the following shall be sufficient:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (when (string= (url-type url) "file")
      ...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Comments?

Best regards, Michael.
