I did:

The message area displayed:

The buffer showing was named "scp:slc:", so it seemed to think I was
talking about a local file. That's why I was wondering if there was a
syntax change.

Note that when I type C-x C-f in the pretest version, the default
directory is "~/", but it is "/" in the nightly. Not sure if that is
significant. Sorry we are getting into what seems like some sort of
unrelated confusion.

I propose you write another bug report about. Best with proper Tramp
traces; pls apply (setq tramp-verbose 6) prior opening the remote
file. There will be a Tramp debug buffer, which shall tell us what's up.

OK, will do.

I was able to reproduce the redisplay problem with the nightly version
of Emacs when I didn't use -Q, so my guess is that there is something
wonky (and unrelated) going on at startup.

This shall be handled here.

Thanks to both of you for your help with this!
