Okay, I gave 2.2.4-pre (ie: CVS trunk) a go following the above 
instructions.

With ido-mode enabled, I got:

apply: Args out of range: "/sudo:root@", 26, 11

...part way through typing a path.

I turned ido-mode off, and then typed a full path:

/ssh:address@hidden|sudo:address@hidden:~/

...before hitting tab, which, for each hit of tab, dumped the following 
two lines:

Tramp: Opening connection for address@hidden using sudo...done
Tramp: Opening connection for address@hidden using sudo...done

I then changed ~/ to a specific file path that didn't exist, but tramp 
then just sat spinning with:

Tramp: opening connection for address@hidden using sudo...

...until I git C-G to cancel.

Any ideas?

Chris
