Hi Ted. With `auth-source-debug' set to t the message log gives me:

--8<--------------------------snip-------------------------->8---

Tramp: Opening connection for address@hidden using su...

Opening connection for address@hidden using su \

auth-source-user-or-password: get password for remote.host.org (su) + user=nil
Opening connection for address@hidden using su \
Tramp: Opening connection for address@hidden using su...done
