That's because the variable itself indeed does not have _any_ relation
to PATH whatsoever. It's the way we set the _default_value_ of the
variable that looks along the PATH:
(defcustom tramp-default-method
(if (and (fboundp 'executable-find)
(executable-find "plink"))
"plink"
"ssh")
>From the end-user's point of view, it is not important how Emacs
figured out it should use plink, whether by searching PATH or some
other magic. As long as the default makes sense, the user should be
happy, since the related features will ``just work''.
So I don't think the doc string should mention PATH in this case.
(Note that Jason suggested that you look at the _definition_ of
tramp-default-method, reproduced above, not at its _doc_string_.)

Sorry, it's impossible to debug the problem using this description.
Could you please provide a short self-contained test case that can be
used to reproduce the bug?

Again, please provide a specific recipe (in particular, what non-ASCII
characters were in the file and how were they encoded).
Thanks.
P.S. Please use a different Subject when you post the details of those
two problems, preferably as two separate messages. TIA
