Byte-compiling tramp*.el files is right, but the problem is that Emacs
should not have loaded the built-in Tramp already. Tramp comes with the
file tramp-compat.el, which offers defsubsts and defmacros different for
Emacs versions. If Tramp is loaded already when byte-compiling, the
loaded version of tramp-compat.el would be used.

A recipe to cure this in your environment would be:

1. Remove all byte-compiled Tramp files.

# rm -f ~/.emacs.d/elpa/tramp-2.5.1.1/tramp*.elc

2. Start Emacs with Tramp's source files

# emacs -L ~/.emacs.d/elpa/tramp-2.5.1.1 -l tramp

This should not give you the error.

3. Recompile Tramp ELPA package *with this running Emacs instance*

M-x tramp-recompile-elpa

Now everything shall be fine, and if you start Emacs again, using the
Tramp ELPA package, there shouldn't be the error.
