Could behave better, yes. But handling file name completion in the
minibuffer is out of the scope of Tramp. Tramp is just a library, which
replaces some basic file operations with own ones for remote targets, as
tramp-adb.el does for Android devices.

If you want to have a different file name completion in the minibuffer,
you must either extend existing packages (like ido.el, icomplete.el, or
alike), or you must write your own file name completion. See the Elisp
manual,

(info "(elisp) Programmed Completion")

Best regards, Michael.
