Apparently dired passes symlinks to Tramp in unfortunate ways.
For instance:
(cd /tmp; ln -s /sudo:root@localhost:/tmp/foo bar)
emacs -Q /tmp/
will infloop asking for a password -- `C-g' will break, but it'll just
ask again apparently forever, and you have to kill Emacs to get out of
the loop.
(cd /tmp; ln -s /sudo:root@nosuchhost:/tmp/foo bar)
emacs -Q /tmp/
won't even give you a prompt, but won't display anything -- hanging
while resolving the "nosuchhost" name?
I haven't tried to debug either case.

This is a collateral damage of 824d1a57ec8e7c90b01af6665de5a114529170df
in function file-name-non-special. Brrrr :-(
I will try to see how to fix this, w/o loosing the solution for bug#48177.
Best regards, Michael.

Should be fixed now in master. Closing the bug.
Best regards, Michael.
