I would say it is due to arc-mode.el. I've checked the code shortly; it
uses `call-process' internally, which is not prepared for remote
files. Replacing all such calls by `process-file' was not reasonable, at
least handling of temporary files must be improved as well.

I recommend to file a bug report towards Emacs, by "M-x report-emacs-bug".
