Similar woes. I am running Ubuntu 9.04, emacs-snapshot, and the single line
"(require 'tramp)" in my .emacs brings

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading
`/home/allenk/.emacs':

Invalid read syntax: invalid multibyte form

then with emacs --debug-init,

͂͂͂Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax "invalid multibyte form")

where I removed some of the \300s etc. I tried Phil Sung's workaround,
also to no effect.
