And none of this except the first line is in the traces. So we need to run telnet from Tramp w/o stderr redirection. Could you pls apply the appended patch to tramp-sh.el? Since this requires a regeneration of tramp-loaddefs.el, pls recompile Emacs via "make -C lisp autoloads compile". Rerun your test with tramp-verbose set to 10, and show the traces.
