I wonder what does, say, "ls -lg" display if there is a user id that has
no name or a group id that has no name in its listing? Would it make
sense for Tramp to do the same thing?

Well, reading the code of `tramp-get-remote-gid', it looks that Tramp
has
stronger checks now. That might be the reason, that you see the error.
If I run "/usr/bin/id -gn" on remote host I have:
---
/usr/bin/id: cannot find name for group ID 20002
20002

Well, it looks like there is a problem on your remote host. Why
couldn't
"id" determine the name of your gid 20002?
With Emacs 24.3 I could open that files.
Because of weaker checks. I'm not fully decided, whether we shall
return
a dummy group name like "nobody", if the name cannot be determined
remotely. This could result in further problems, I fear.
Anyway, there might be a workaround. The group name is cached in
Tramp,
and you could predefine its value like this:
(add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties
(list (regexp-quote "/ssh:remotehost:")
"gid-string" "myfakedvalue"))
See also the Tramp manual about "Predefined connection information".
