The error message came from somewhere else, it was a follow-up error. So
it couldn't speak about the real problem.

But I don't understand yet how this could happen. Tramp has the function
tramp-handle-temporary-file-directory, which returns a proper remote
temporary directory, or nil if there isn't. And this includes the
file-writable-p check. Hmm.

I'll dig further. First, I need a simple recipe for error reproduction.
