Sure. Completion style `substring' is not active, and so we see in the
traces buffer
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
======================================================================
1 -> (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions "scp" "/")
1 <- tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions: ("scp:" "scpx:")
======================================================================
1 -> (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions "scp" "/")
1 <- tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions: ("scp:" "scpx:")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
See, how `tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions' is invoked
differently.

The traces show us
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
======================================================================
1 -> (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions "scp:" "/")
1 <- tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions: ("scp:test:" ...
"scp:osboxes@")
======================================================================
1 -> (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions "scp:" "/")
1 <- tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions: ("scp:test:" ...
"scp:osboxes@")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(I've cut the result of the function, you don't want to see the zillions
of possible completions in my stanza :-) Again, see the arguments the
function is called with.

I've said it several times: `tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions'
is called with arguments, and it returns a corresponding result. It is
consistent. How completion styles interpret the result, is out of
Tramp's responsibility.
I don't say there's no bug. But as Tramp maintainer I believe there is
no bug in Tramp (anymore); I have no knowledge of completion styles in
order to help fixing it there.
Best regards, Michael.
