I've attached a trace for this one.

txtOcpjWTEdAe.txt
Description: trace for root user connecting to tramp and executing command sh

Also, attached the tramp log with tramp-verbose at 11.

txtnwlxZdLJaX.txt
Description: tramp log verbose level 11 for root user connecting to tramp and executing command sh

>From those tramp logs I saw something that looked like it could be an
issue, but maybe it's harmless:

```
/bin/sh: set: illegal option +o emacs.

```

Hopefully this is enough information and I've accurately described
what's happening.
