The whole backtrace is in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-08/msg00533.html>
(the second backtrace in this message).

For Tramp, it is a complete filename wrt syntax. "ssh" is recognised as
host name, which is regarded as an error since we had decided this some
weeks ago. See <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13900#24>.

Setting `non-essential' to t is a mean to tell Tramp not to check this.
