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))
