Further debugging -- the error is in tramp.el.

I'm attaching the diffs between the working and non-working versions.

I tried changing the regexp for file matching (the first difference) back to
the earlier version, but that did not fix the bug.  So one of the other diffs
is the problem.

I hope that helps localize things a bit ... to reproduce, try using the scp
method to edit a shell script on a remote host with bash as the remote login
shell.  Directory listings on the remote host work fine, the problem is
actually loading the file.
