Thanks for taking a look. Of course, if anyone with more experience
using M-x gdb could take a look, that would be helpful too.

Indeed, it looks like bug#39408 is my issue (1) above, and bug#28392
is my issue (2). bug#44151 looks like it's done(ish): the first part
is something you've already fixed in Tramp, and the second part
(mentioned in comment 11) is a duplicate of bug#28392.

Given that these are already tracked as bugs, should I just submit
patches to both bug#39408 and bug#28392? I'd have to rearrange my
existing patches slightly, but that's easy.
