This doesn't work for busybox.

Anyways, I think there're not much solutions for this: either
Tramp/Emacs is teached to unescape filename or make Tramp to append
'--color=never' when it's supported assuming that all ls(1)
implementations used 'never'.

Otherwise the LS_COLORS or --color should depend on the remote url.
