It is still mysterious.

Reproducing the test locally (remote host runs Ubuntu, but it
shouldn't matter) shows:
# Setting shell prompt
$ PS1='
///69b9edf343eb473008d721d21a951698
'; PS2=''; PS3=''
$ echo ~root
/
# Remote `/bin/sh' groks tilde expansion, good
# Finding command to check if file exists
$ test -e / 2>/dev/null; echo tramp_exit_status $?
tramp_exit_status 0
$ test -e /\ this\ file\ does\ not\ exist\ 2>/dev/null; echo tramp_exit_status
$?
tramp_exit_status 1
...
And looking at the code, there is no reason that Tramp shouldn't raise
(and trace!) the next command 'test -e / 2>/dev/null; echo
tramp_exit_status $?'
Hmm. Could you, please, restart Emacs with "emacs -q"? Then apply
(setq debug-on-error t
debug-on-quit t)
and rerun the test please. It should give you a backtrace, which might
be helpful.
Best regards, Michael.
