Got it (I think)...

org-mac-protocol.el still isn't loading.

What is happening is:

org-link.scpt doesn't require org-mac-protocol.el - it just uses the

org-protocol:/store-link:/

protocol which is defined in org-protocol.el

However, org-note.scpt and org-remember.scpt use the

org-protocol:/mac-remember:/

protocol which is defined in org-mac-protocol.el (along with frame
moving and application switching functions).

But, org-mac-protocol.el hasn't loaded.

So emacsclient trys to open the file :/mac-remember:/z/foo/bar which
tramp intercepts and the barfs on.

I'm not sure why org-mac-protocol.el is not loading. But my guess is
that the variable org-remember-templates is not set when you try to load
org-mac-protocol.el and so it barfs on the (add-to-list
'org-remember-templates ...).

Relevant section of my .emacs looks like:

,----
| (autoload 'remember "remember" "remember mode" t)
| (load "~/.emacs.d/remember-init") 
| ;; assorted remember initializations including
| (setq org-remember-templates '((my templates)))
| 
| (setq org-modules '(org-bibtex org-id org-info org-mac-message org-mac-iCal org-w3m org-elisp-symbol org-protocol org-mac-protocol org-gnus org-jsinfo))
| 
| (require 'org-install)
| (add-hook 'org-load-hook
| 	  (lambda ()
| 	    (load "~/.emacs.d/org-init"))) ;; all my org settings
`----

If this helps, I'll either rewrite the documentation of remove the
(add-to-list 'org-remember-templates ... ) and ask users to add their
own templates.
