In the linked bug, a suggestion was made to run trace using:

     (require 'trace)
     (dolist (elt (all-completions "tramp-" obarray 'functionp))
       (trace-function-background (intern elt)))
     (untrace-function 'tramp-read-passwd)

In the hope this might help, I've done this (typed C-c C-F /ss<tab>) and
this is the buffer *trace output*. It does look like the completion is
being made, just not making it back to the minibuffer....
