It's not working for me :-(
 After I set `tramp-encidng-shell', tramp
detects the shell extra arguments, as you can see here:

10:14:09.547170 tramp-maybe-open-connection (6) # /usr/bin/zsh -i -f +Z -V

But apparently, those options are been ignored because I still see those 
funny characters after the prompt (I mean, [?2004h ) causing the time out 
(I hide the IP with MACHINE_IP):
