Not that it's a solution necessarily, but would a work-around for this
issue be to use RSA authentication combined with ssh-agent? Is that
even possible on Windows?
Er, no. TRAMP waits for the remote *shell* to emit a prompt, not a local
shell.
Using RSA auth and the agent means that you don't need to talk to a
local password prompt. It does not make the remote shell interactive.
