Sorry Kai for leading you on this wild goose chase.

I just found my problem.

The very last lines of after-find-file are
  (unless nomodes
    (normal-mode t)
    (run-hooks 'find-file-hooks)))

find-file-hooks is
Value: (prcs-maybe-put-into-controlled-mode vc-find-file-hook 
font-lock-set-defaults tramp-set-auto-save tramp-vc-setup-for-remote 
gnuplot-mmm-init save-desktop)

And this is where I remember that I installed prcs-el just before tramp
started breaking (at the same time I upgraded everything else)

apt-cache show prcs-el:
ELisp support for the Project Revision Control System
 This package contains Emacs-Lisp add-on support for PRCS, the Project
 Revision Control System.  It provides a useful interface for some
 PRCS commands (checkin, diff, info, and rekey) while editing project
 descriptor files (.prj).
 .
 prcs-el is distributed separately from the prcs package because it
depends
 on Emacs (or another "emacsen" flavor).




Well, it seems that prcs-el conflicts with tramp for the time being - no
biggy, because I haven't yet used prcs, so don't know whether I will want
to use it. Obviously not, if it breaks tramp :)
