I can still easily reproduce this bug. Joakim (who can not reproduce
this) was using ssh, I am using ftp.
I am on w32 I guess that matters too. I think you are using GNU/Linux,
Joakim?

I took a look at it. The problem is in using the system file dialog to
read remote file names on w32. This just gives a local file name.
I am surprised that this works for you, Joakim. Does the file dialog on
GNU/Linux understand Emacs remote file syntax?
I think the fix is simple. Just tell read-file-name to not use a dialog:
(if (or (not (next-read-file-uses-dialog-p))
(when default-filename
(file-remote-p default-filename))
(file-remote-p dir))

I dont get a file-dialog at all, because I have disabled those.
I just use tramp syntax with find-file, which is why I didnt understand
the problem.
