Finally, I could fix it this way in Tramp 2.1. It's committed in Tramp
CVS, and it will be available with Tramp 2.1.7 to be released soon.

I haven't backported it to Tramp 2.0 (part of Emacs 22), because the
codebase between them is seriously different, the patch is not
trivial, and I still fear I would destabilize Tramp there.

Thanks again for your recommendation; I was looking another way which
didn't succeed for a long time.

Best regards, Michael.
