This is a recent regression. When visiting a remote Dired buffer,
marking one file with C-SPC (set-mark-command), then moving point
to another Dired file, then typing '=' (dired-diff) and 'RET'
fails with the error "Attempt to compare the file to itself".
This is because 'read-file-name' in the interactive spec of 'dired-diff'
now returns the remote directory name after typing RET,
while some time ago it correctly returned the default file name,
that is the marked file that was used as the arg 'file' of 'dired-diff'.
In local filesystems, RET still correctly returns the default file,
not a directory name as it does now for remote directories.

FTR, git bisect has identified the following guilty commit:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
commit 225ca617b70d3c70376c2d9bf38ced2f2323b26e (refs/bisect/bad)
Author: Michael Albinus <michael.albinus@gmx.de>
Date: Fri Jul 2 14:51:23 2021 +0200
Implement another fix for bug#49229
* lisp/minibuffer.el (read-file-name-default): Respect remote files.
(Bug#49229)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I will check how bug#49229 could be fixed differently.
Best regards, Michael.

I must confess, w/o a recent build of Emacs 28.0.60 for Windows I cannot
do it :-(
Best regards, Michael.

Finally, I've managed to install this beast on my MS Windows VM. I've
removed the incrimed patch, and implemented something different. Your
use case now works for me, on both MS Windows and GNU/Linux.
Could you please check?
Best regards, Michael.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for fixing this.

I confirm that now there is no problem anymore on GNU/Linux,
so I'm closing this report (hope that on MS Windows this works too).
