Tramp feels responsible for the filename "/". This is not because of any remote editing, but because of a possible filename completion in the minibuffer. You see in the backtrace, that only tramp-completion-* functions are involved. But they shall realize, that there is nothing to do for them, and they shall hand over the work to the native implementation of `directory-file-name'. That happens always with all filenames, which could be extended to a remote file name. Looks like you need to continue with debugging, which function is running amok.
