I've tried to reproduce it in a clean environment. I did the following:

- ~/src/emacs-28/src/emacs -Q -L ~/.emacs.d/elpa/tramp-2.6.0 -l ido /etc/hosts

- Eval your sudo-edit function in *scratch*

- In buffer "hosts", call M-x sudo-edit

Everything works as expected. Could you pls try to reproduce it similarly?

Best regards, Michael.
