Ah, yes, with `g' I get the misalignment, too.

I get the same problem with three lines.

(dired (list "Something" "/" "~/" "/tmp"))
=>

  /home/larsi/src/emacs/trunk/lisp/progmodes:
  drwxr-xr-x 26 root root   4.0K Sep 17 13:43 /
  drwxr-xr-x 78 larsi larsi 4.0K Sep 20 14:32 /home/larsi/
  drwxrwxrwt 27 root  root   36K Sep 20 14:41 /tmp

and then `g'

  /home/larsi/src/emacs/trunk/lisp/progmodes:
  drwxr-xr-x 26 root root 4.0K Sep 17 13:43 /
  drwxr-xr-x 78 larsi larsi 4.0K Sep 20 14:32 /home/larsi/
  drwxrwxrwt 27 root  root   36K Sep 20 14:41 /tmp

It seems like the first line always loses the two extra spaces after
"root root".  Or...  experimenting with the order

  /home/larsi/src/emacs/trunk:
  drwxr-xr-x 26 root root 4.0K Sep 17 13:43 /
  drwxrwxrwt 27 root root  36K Sep 20 14:41 /tmp
  drwxr-xr-x 78 larsi larsi 4.0K Sep 20 14:32 /home/larsi/

If the "root" lines are both first, then both lose the alignment.
