Oh, I somehow had it in my mind that `concat' doesn't work with nil, I
must have mixed it up with `insert'.  Also, I guess most of the filename
tests should actually be looking at only the localname, so it should go
more like this:

    (defun minibuffer-maybe-quote-filename (filename)
      "Protect FILENAME from `substitute-in-file-name', as needed.
    Useful to give the user default values that won't be substituted."
      (let ((local (file-remote-p filename 'localname)))
        (if (and (not (string-prefix-p "/:" local))
                 (file-name-absolute-p filename)
                 (string-match-p "/~" local))
            (tramp-quote-name filename)
          (minibuffer--double-dollars filename))))


Regarding `tramp-quoted-name-p', you should use (string-match "\\`/:"
...) or (string-prefix-p "/:" ...), not (string-match "^/:" ...) as the
latter could get confused by newlines in filenames (of the first two, I
find the `string-prefix-p' version clearer).
