Ah, bingo! I had no idea, and was starting to think I was mad.  :-)

Anyway, then we have an `emacs -Q' reproduction recipe:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(load-library "tramp")
(setq tramp-cache-read-persistent-data t)
(setq auth-source-save-behavior nil)
(setq auth-sources
    '(default
       "secrets:session"
       "secrets:Login"
       "~/.authinfo.gpg"))
#+end_src

Now find file "/sudo::/tmp/test.txt", enter password, and meet the 
infamous "label prompt".

Best regards,
Gustavo.
