This change in the name of the subtitle file is deliberate.  I didn't
know about this policy choice.

Yes, sure.

This can also be a tramp bug (or feature), so I should include my
Emacs and TRAMP versions:

Emacs version: GNU Emacs 23.0.50.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.12.0) of 2007-10-09 on onosendai

TRAMP version: 2.1.11-pre
