I think it needs this change:

2007-07-11  Michael Albinus  <michael.albinus@gmx.de>

        * progmodes/gud.el (gud-file-name): When `default-directory' is a
        remote file name, prepend its remote part to the filename.
        (gud-common-init): When `default-directory' is a remote file name,
        make the filename relative to it.

which missed 22.1 but is part of Emacs 22.2.
