I evaluated this in *scratch*:

(add-to-list
 'tramp-methods
 '("mosh"
   (tramp-login-program "env LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/bin/mosh")
   (tramp-login-args (("address@hidden")))
   (tramp-async-args (()))
   (tramp-remote-shell "/bin/sh")
   (tramp-remote-shell-args ("-c"))
   (tramp-gw-args ())
   (tramp-default-port 22)))

Same error with the path you suggested, using an Emacs binary compiled
from trunk yesterday.  tramp-version is 2.2.3-24.1 (from Emacs trunk).

(find-file-noselect "/mosh:address@hidden:/home/tzz" nil nil t)

I'll work on that when I get the basic method working :)

Thanks for the help!
