Yes, you are right.

The problem seems to be, that defalias is evaled during
byte-compilation. So I will revert the definition of
tramp-drop-volume-letter, that is is decided at runtime how it is
defined.

Yes. Unfortunately, all pretests for MS Windows were compiled on MS
Windows. So this hasn't been detected earlier.
What shall we do with Emacs 24.3 for MS Windows? I still believe, that
we must repackage it, and compile tramp.el on MS Windows.
Alternatively there could be an Emacs 24.3a with a changed tramp.el. But
this sounds too heavy to me.
Best regards, Michael.
