_The_ file name handler, which belongs to `default-directory', will be
applied. Whether there is a file name handler for one of the
parameters of `start-file-process', is not relevant. This is
different wrt to other primitive functions, like `file-exists-p'.
Currently, there ought to be only one implementation of such a file
name handler, `tramp-handle-start-file-process'. _This_ file name
handler runs the command on the corresponding remote host. Arguments
are taken literally; it would be safe to use relative file names only
as arguments of the command.
Best regards, Michael.
