Are you sure Tramp 2.1.15 is loaded with your scenario? After starting
"emacs -Q" you need at least adapt the load-path. Emacs 22 comes with
Tramp 2.0.

I have done exactly as said with Emacs 23.0.90 / Tramp 2.1.15. The
only difference is that I have used "sudo" instead of "su" (because of
Ubuntu). I was prompted for the password, and it did run w/o any
problem.

Could you, please, repeat the test? Directly after starting Emacs, you
should apply "M-: (setq tramp-verbose 9)". If the problem happens,
please show the "*tramp/su root@...*" and "*debug tramp/su root@...*"
buffers.
