That is not expected. The error message looks like there is a connection
problem to your remote host.

Could you, please, set tramp-verbose to 8, and rerun the test? There
will be a *debug tramp/...* buffer, which might be helpful.

However, I've realized, that there is also an eshell problem using pipes
on remote hosts. I'm working on this.

"ls" uses an eshell internal implementation instead of running the "ls"
command on the remote host, that's why there is a different behaviour.
