Do you have a *tramp/foo* buffer?  (You shouldn't.)
Do you have a *debug tramp/foo* buffer?  (You shouldn't.)
Do you have a *ftp foo* buffer?  (You should.)

If you answered yes to one of the first two, then that's a bug in
Tramp.

Else it's a bug in Ange-FTP.  Not that this helps you much...

Hm.  It might be interesting to see the *ftp foo* buffer, to see how
it goes wrong...  Please censor the passwords...
