Hmm. This is unexpected. And Tramp would see such errors; it is trained
to detect failed commands. Maybe a cut'n'paste error?

So maybe another ls is used than the one I check? Since I have no OS X
machine, I read the man page at
<https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/ls.1.html>.

Does your ls behaves like this? The "-w" option is important.
