My understanding of the docs is that /remotehost: as well as
/root@remotehost: are valid tramp paths.  'tramp-default-method' being
"scp", they are equivalent to /scp:localusername@
remotehost:remoteuserhomedir (resp. /scp:root@remotehost:roothomedir).
And (again my understanding of the docs), "scp" seems to be the method I
actually want to use.

Regardless of what parts are actually optional in a tramp pathname, I
see the same behaviour with e.g. '/scp:root@remotehost:/root/.profile'.
Or any other functionally equivalent method (ssh, sshx, scpc, ...).
