Haven't heard of this before. However, at least according to XEmacs
documentation and implementation, this is a TRAMP bug since (1)
`insert-file-contents' is documented to reset the modified flag if
VISIT is non-nil and (2) all of the implementation of
`insert-file-contents' including flag handling is delegated to the
handler if it exists.
Upstream Tramp has fixed this. There is an unwind-protect form in
tramp-handle-insert-file-contents, and set-buffer-modified-p is called
in the unwindforms handler, besides other things.
This reminds me that there's on my todo list the merge of Tramp 2.2 into
the XEmacs packages repository. I shall really do it soon.

Best regards, Michael.
