Thanks for reporting this. I can reproduce this issue. Does evaluating the
following work?
(setf (alist-get 'tramp-login-program
(alist-get "plink" tramp-methods nil nil #'equal))
(list (concat "\"" (executable-find "plink") "\"")))
If so, I think I've identified the bug: in 'eshell-gather-process-output', we
set the 'process-environment' to Eshell's environment variables. In a remote
directory, this includes the remote PATH. However, that confuses Tramp, which
uses that remote PATH to look for the local "plink.exe".
I can confirm that snippet does resolve the problem.
