Yes. We are in the `expand-file-name' business. An absolute local file
name does not trigger any action; "~" or "" as local file name require
actions. The problem itself happens in `tramp-maybe-open-connection'.

But the "Selecting deleted buffer" error is hidden very well, likely by
an `ignore-errors' wrapper. And debugging changes the behaviour.

My guess is it is related to Tramp's debug buffer (it won't be touched
when tramp-verbose is less than 3). I'll continue to dig.
