NB: This problem is not related to vertico. A simple recipe:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs -Q -l tramp --eval "(tramp-change-syntax 'simplified)" --eval '(setq debug-on-error t)'
C-x C-f / TAB TAB
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This shows the problem with Emacs 30. With Emacs 31, no problem.
