A silly workaround is to require Ange-FTP before Tramp in your
.emacs. Tramp will cleanup file-name-handler-alist. (Hmm. Maybe I
shall put it into the doc).

If you want to find the cause of your problem, you can apply the
following patch to Ange-FTP temporarily. You need to close Emacs, and
start it again. There will be a backtrace showing who's loading
Ange-FTP:

diff -c "c:/Programme/gnu/emacs-21.2/lisp/net/ange-ftp.el.~1~" 
"c:/Programme/gnu/emacs-21.2/lisp/net/ange-ftp.el"
