I think tramp is pretty good at handling environment differences (and if
not, Michael is pretty responsive at modifying it to fix whatever
breakage people uncover), so for org-mode even simple tests in homogeneous
environments should be useful (e.g. using localhost as the "remote", or
the name of the machine that runs the test: not sure how much
optimization is done at various levels, but it might be enough to test
the remote code paths.)

OK - good!

Thanks! If you post the patch, I'll try out some simple tests over the
weekend too.
