See loaddefs.el:

(add-hook
 'after-init-hook
 'tramp-register-completion-file-name-handler)

So you must put (partial-completion-mode 1) in your .emacs. But now,
since `partial-completion' is set in `completion-styles' by default, you
don't need to do this anymore, you'll see early Tramp loading already
when starting emacs -Q.
