Finally,  I could reproduce the problem with the following code snippet:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(progn
  (tramp-cleanup-all-connections)
  (let ((non-essential t))
    (tramp-get-remote-uid (tramp-dissect-file-name "/sudo::") 'string)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I've pushed a fix to master, could you please check?

Best regards, Michael.
