Don't know, but could we face one problem after the other?

I haven't spoken about dired, Tramp doesn't know even that it is called
from a dired buffer. Tramp is just a simple library, which replaces the
implementation of basic Lisp file functions (like `file-exists-p' or
`copy-file') with something else. Whether these functions are called
from dired or ido or whatever package doesn't matter for Tramp.

Neither I understand what you want to tell me, nor is it helpful to see
trace buffer fragments only.

Have you tried the scenario I have asked for? Start a new Emacs
instance, connect only to a single share (be it C$), and navigate only
in this share.

Does this work smoothly? If not, pls send me the whole trace buffer of
this test.

Best regards, Michael.
