It looks like Tramp does this already:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(file-remote-p "/davs:user@example.com@anotherhost.com:" 'user)
=> "user@example.com"

(file-remote-p "/davs:user@example.com@anotherhost.com:" 'host)
"anotherhost.com"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So the problem must be somewhere else. Could you please run your test,
starting with

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs -Q -l tramp --eval '(setq tramp-verbose 10)'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

There will be a Tramp debug buffer, which you should show. Likely, it is
too large for this ML, so pls send it directly to me.
