Yes. Vanilla Emacs ("emacs -Q") behaves like this:
/ssh:ford:/<TAB> completes in / on remote
/ssh:ford://<TAB> completes in / on local
/ssh:ford:///<TAB> completes in / on remote
The second one is the inconsistency I wrote about (it shall complete in
/ on remote). The third one I didn't recognize until now, it shall
complete in / on local. A bug.
My proposal is the behavior you've shown with ivy, also for vanilla
Emacs.
