I see. Starting Emacs, and running M-x ido-mode, I could reproduce it as
well.

There is still no problem with Emacs 23 + built-in Tramp 2.1, as you
have confirmed. The combination of Emacs 22 and Tramp 2.0 (built-in) or
Tramp 2.1 gives the error.

I remember a discussion a year ago about a similar problem, see
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/83860>. But I don't know,
whether the published patch works also for Emacs 22. Maybe we let it as
it is (with the given workaround presetting the default method).

Best regards, Michael.
