Hmm. It is needed, when insert-file-contents is called with non-nil BEG
and END arguments. So it might be useful in general, to find a working
head function on the remote machine.

It's not Tramp, it is vc.el. It checks for every file, whether it is
under version control. The systems to be checked for are defined in
vc-handled-backends.

Setting vc-handled-backends to nil will prevent those tests. Then you
could produce new traces, which we will continue to analyze.
