Hmm, the "" entry in `tramp-remote-path' seems to be guilty.
`tramp-remote-path' has the initial value

  '(tramp-default-remote-path "/usr/sbin" "/usr/local/bin"        
    "/local/bin" "/local/freeware/bin" "/local/gnu/bin"
    "/usr/freeware/bin" "/usr/pkg/bin" "/usr/contrib/bin")

Non-existing directories are cut off.

`tramp-default-remote-path' is expanded to '("/usr/bin" "/bin"
"/usr/sbin" "/sbin" "") in your case. Strange.

Could you, please, provide again the debug buffer with verbosity set
to level 6? Now for Tramp 2.1.7. Something strange must happen with
FreeBSD (unfortunately, I cannot reach such a test machine).

Best regards, Michael.

PS: Does setting tramp-chunksize help for ssh connections?
