I think I'm running into something similar, but it started recently and
I don't think my zsh prompt is the problem (as per the manual, I have 

[ $TERM = "dumb" ] && unsetopt zle && PS1='$ '

after any other prompt settings).  I edebugged to find that
`tramp-wait-for-regexp' was cycling forever, as if `with-timeout' had no
effect.

I submitted a tramp bug but would like some help debugging this further,
in case it's something simple I've overlooked.
