Yes, the tramp master branch works nicely!

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/tramp.git/commit/?id=1dbd930da8 does
make me wonder whether it would be good for tramp-user-error to check
whether saved-tdpa is bound, and handle the rollback itself, so the
code which sets the error doesn't need to?

I assume there are other error cases where the rollback doesn't happen
and doesn't *need* to happen; but if it's harmless to do so (which I
have no idea about), then "roll back any new proxies in the face of an
error" might well be a sane behaviour, and might possibly prevent
undesirable proxies being added in other situations (speculating).

I'm re-closing this bug in any case.  Thank you for fixing this.
