Maybe I've misread the whole thread, but GNU coreutils ls(1) turns
off -l when the -f option follows:

  $ src/ls -lf AUTHORS NEWS
  AUTHORS  NEWS

while -l wins after -f:

  $ src/ls -fl AUTHORS NEWS
  -rw-r--r-- 1 berny users   3669 Feb 10  2013 AUTHORS
  -rw-r--r-- 1 berny users 167110 Nov  5 08:52 NEWS

I don't see an issue there.

Have a nice day,
Berny
