Your remote prompt contains color escape sequences:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[37;address@hidden:[0;35m~[1;36m[00m $ 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I recommend to suppress it on the remote side, as explained in the Tramp
manual. Add the following line to your remote .profile:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[ $TERM = "dumb" ] && PS1='$ '
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I don't see what has broken Tramp's detection of this between Emacs 25.3
and 26.1; will check whether I find something.
