Fascinating.  I have never heard of this behavior.

What does the following eval to?

(file-expand-wildcards "/multi:ssh:bob@24.161.120.95:ssh:bob@192.168.2.48:/home/bob")

It would also be interesting to see the corresponding part of the
*debug tramp/foo* buffer.

I tried to reproduce your problem with 

C-x C-f /multi:ssh:grossjoh@schulz:ssh:grossjoh@lydia:~/ RET

but I could reproduce it.  I just got a directory listing of my home
dir on that host, but no additional file.  The variable
find-file-wildcards is t in my Emacs.
