Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Symptoms: auto-save file name is consistently "c:\\#2#" for remote
files.

How to reproduce: 

Visit a file via ange-ftp, and check auto-save file name:

C-x C-f /anonymous@ftp.gnu.org:README RET
ESC : (make-auto-save-file-name) RET

=> Emacs displays "c:\\#2", instead of the expected
`temporary-file-directory'/#README# 

Proposed solution (sorry, I don't have diff on this PC):

1) Change the default value of auto-save-file-name-transforms (line
305 in files.el)

from
  `(("\\`/[^/]*:\\(.+/\\)*\\(.*\\)"
     ,(expand-file-name "\\2" temporary-file-directory)))

to
  '(("\\`/[^/]*:\\(.+/\\)*\\(.*\\)" 
     (expand-file-name 
       (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name)
temporary-file-directory)))

2) Change one line in the definition of make-auto-save-file-name (line
3315 in files.el)

from 
	(setq result (replace-match (cadr (car list)) t nil

to
	(setq result (replace-match (eval (cadr (car list))) t nil
