Hmm. I just played a little bit around with emerge-files of a local
and a remote (Tramp) file, but there are no problems. Note that I
work with ediff for years, and I haven't seen a Tramp related problem
ever. Strange.

First, we need more evidences. It would be great if you could perform
the same test with the following settings:

(setq tramp-debug-buffer t
      tramp-verbose 10)

When the problem occurs again, please raise a Tramp bug report via
"M-x tramp-submit-bug". It provides the settings of relevant
variables. Important would be also the buffer "*debug tramp/ssh
address@hidden".
