Thanks. Yes, my statements are still true; magit uses even more
asynchronous processes now.

And this is still true as well :-(

As workaround, one could add the following lines in `magit-process-sentinel',
inside the `with-current-buffer' form (untested):

  (with-parsed-tramp-file-name default-directory nil
    (tramp-flush-directory-property v (file-name-directory localname)))

But this would be a crude hack.
