Yes. Tramp fights indeed with timers, and so I have disabled timers in
tramp-accept-process-output already. Maybe we shall do the same in
tramp-send-string? Would the following patch help?
In brief testing – 100 percent reproducible error, but only one instance – this patch did fix the problem. I haven't tried to provoke a non-local exit from anything contained within, or anything like that, since you obviously omitted the code for that in this test patch.
So, yeah, I think that is sufficient.
