You should quote the whole documentation about:
,----
| If you, for example, wants to work as 'root' on hosts in the domain
| 'your.domain', but login as 'root' is disabled for non-local
| access, you might add the following rule:
|
| (add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
| '("\\.your\\.domain\\'" "\\`root\\'" "/ssh:%h:"))
|
| Opening '/sudo:randomhost.your.domain:' would connect first
| 'randomhost.your.domain' via 'ssh' under your account name, and
| perform 'sudo -u root' on that host afterwards. It is important to
| know that the given method is applied on the host which has been
| reached so far. 'sudo -u root', applied on your local host,
| wouldn't be useful here.

I'll mark it as not-a-bug.
Best regards, Michael.
