Ok, this was weird:
    M-x : remote-file-name-inhibit-auto-save-visited
in a buffer loaded from remote returns now t, but the buffer still
autosaves when modified

Does tramp do its own thing wrt to autosaving?

Or isn't the tramp file recognized as a remote file?

    M-x : (not (file-remote-p buffer-file-name))
evaluates to nil while the same on ~/.emacs evaluates to t, so I think
that means that file-remote-p sees the tramp buffer file as a remote...?
