Oh, boy.  In the function tramp-do-copy-or-rename-file,
with-parsed-tramp-file-name is invoked for both the source and the
target files.  But with-parsed-tramp-file-name should never be called
on a non-Tramp file.

So the logic in that function should be rearranged.  If both files
are Tramp files, then the shortcut things can be tried.  If only one
file is a Tramp file, then we can either do the trick by invoking
rcp-program directly, or we go through a buffer.

[time passes]

I have now simplified the function a little bit by omitting the
special case where rcp was called directly.  I also changed the
function to account for the fact that with-parsed-tramp-file-name
barfs if the filename isn't a Tramp filename.

Does the new version work?  I haven't tested it.
