Netrw does not open remote file

[saccarosium]

Problem

In specific cases, Netrw plugin does not open remote file. Result depends on file name and order on the command line.

Steps to reproduce

This works:
nvim -p 'scp://root@REDACTED:22//etc/network/interfaces' 'scp://root@REDACTED:22//etc/network/interfaces.new'

This does not:
nvim -p 'scp://root@REDACTED:22//etc/network/interfaces.new' 'scp://root@REDACTED:22//etc/network/interfaces'

The only difference is order of files.

Further tests:

Works:
nvim -p 'scp://root@REDACTED:22//tmp/bbb' 'scp://root@REDACTED:22//tmp/bbb.old'

Does not work:
nvim -p 'scp://root@REDACTED:22//tmp/bbb.old' 'scp://root@REDACTED:22//tmp/bbb'

Expected behavior

Neovim always opens both files.

Operating system/version
