Please run from the terminal

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# emacs -Q --eval '(setq tramp-verbose 10)' /ssh:user@localhost#2222:/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Interrupt with C-g if it hangs. There will be a buffer "*debug tramp/ssh
user@localhost#2222*" which will tell us what's up.
