This is silly, indeed. The nextcloud method shall not care about
tramp-local-host-regexp.

The complaint comes from tramp-compute-multi-hops. Have you tried
multi-hops, with nextcloud?

This calls for traces. Set tramp-verbose to 6, rerun your test, and show
the Tramp debug buffer. Preferably, from a new Emacs instance, started
with "emacs -Q".
