Well, meanwhile Tramp doesn't raise an error anymore. It simply ignores
it, what's not a solution, I know.

Unfortunately, Posix does not specify how to force a login shell,
evaluating its ~/.profile and friends. If somebody knows a portable way,
how one could determine the $PATH settings of a login shell, I'll add it
to Tramp happily.
