Correct.

I should also amend:  I'm actually using tramp2 
(if that makes a difference). 

# ll /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tramp2/

"C-h v tramp-syntax RETURN" says "[No match]".

"C-h v tramp2-syntax RETURN" also says "[No match]".

It returns "nil", but "M-: (featurep 'tramp2)" returns 't'.

This is in my ~/.emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tramp2/")
(require 'tramp2)

In fact, I did "C-x C-e" with the point at the end of each line
immediately before trying to open a remote file.  Still no go.

Does emacs have any other diagnostics  I can run which would help 
figure this out?

Michael, thanks very much for your help.
