Well, reading the Tramp traces does not show too much,
unfortunately. But you made a point with iTerm2, see the Tramp manual,
chapter Frequently Asked Questions:

          A similar problem exist with the iTerm2 shell integration,
          which sends proprietary escape codes when starting a shell.
          This can be suppressed by changing the respective integration
          snippet in your ‘~/.profile’ like this:

               [ $TERM = "dumb" ] || \
               test -e "${HOME}/.iterm2_shell_integration.bash" && \
               source "${HOME}/.iterm2_shell_integration.bash"
