Likely you are right, although sometimes returning nil is interpreted as
the file name itself.

So I've applied your patch, simplifying the defadvice. You can test it
yourself, setting (setq tramp-syntax 'sep) before loading Tramp. Then
you could instrument the advice for debug, and load /[ssh/].* (for
example).
