With the patch just applied, you shall be able now to work with
tramp-default-method set to "ftp".

Tramp is not the "only" external file name handler in Emacs 23; ange-ftp
still exists. Due to the same syntax, Tramp is the "first" file name
handler to be applied, when there is remote file name syntax. Tramp
passes the job to ange-ftp, when it recognizes "ftp" as method.

Unloading Tramp 2.1 seems to be broken. I'll continue to check, but
likely it will be postponed until after my vacations.

Best regards, Michael.
