It looks like we can't do much about it at this stage.
We should probably leave it as is for Emacs-22 and improve it afterwards.
How to improve it should probably look like:
1 - register Tramp at dump time.
2 - make sure that registering does not cause Tramp to be loaded.
3 - when completion is requested, Tramp is not loaded, and the config says
    that completion should obey Tramp (e.g. because partial-completion-mode
    is ON), then load Tramp.
