Still getting bitten by this, just about every time I start Emacs and
open a remote file.

I've tried to debug this repeatedly, but I'm obviously doing it wrong
since no amount of debugging-on-entry or tweaking
{pre,post}-command-hook amounted to anything.

FWIW I've dumped backtraces of both the TRAMP recipe and the etags
recipe.
