I have tried your patch, and it works well for jka-compr and Tramp.
Yay!

To correctly implement Tramp, I need a way to test Emacs for this
patch:

(unless (emacs-has-stefans-patch)
  (when (and (boundp 'auto-compression-mode)
             (symbol-value 'auto-compression-mode))
    (error "Must load Tramp before enabling `auto-compression-mode'")))

But how to implement emacs-has-stefans-patch?
