It's always `tramp-file-name-handler' which is in charge. I meant that
the suppress-mechanism was intended for file operations like
`expand-file-name' etc. It was not meant for `start-file-process', which
is also a file name operation in the strict sense. The file name which
is checked here is not an argument but `default-directory'. This doesn't
make a difference for the mechanism itself.
