Finally, I believe it is a side-effect of Tramp. Could you try the
following patch on tramp.el (based on Tramp 2.0.48 source)? It should
fix both problems:

I don't think so. It could be a security threat, because auto-saved
files go to the local host by default. Imagine you edit a remote file
as root, which is accessible locally under your user account...
