It's a bug in TRAMP:
If I create a new file: "/su:root@localhost:/tmp/blah"
then to C-x v v to register it, it fails. But I can see that the
/tmp/RCS/blah,v is created. If after that I do:
M-: (file-exists-p "/su:root@localhost:/tmp/RCS/blah,v") RET
the result is nil.
If I start a new emacs and do:
M-: (file-exists-p "/su:root@localhost:/tmp/RCS/blah,v") RET
the result is t.
