In 23.1.50.1, there's a bad interaction between tab completion and
tramp filenames.  If you try to do tab completion on
"/ssh:remote-host:~/~/te", where the file "test" exists on the remote
host but not locally, the completion says there's no match.

I don't completely understand what you mean with your remark about
"graying out the irrelevant parts", but there was an error, indeed (it
didn't mark parts starting with tilde). I've committed a fix to the
trunk.

Besides this, I believe there is no problem anymore, so I have set this
bug to resolved.
