Coreutils uses '.' as the printable character for alternate access
method flag if the file has SELinux attributes attached to it, since
SELinux labels can indeed deny access to a file beyond what is implied
by the traditional 9 bits; coreutils also uses '+' for ACLs. If python
isn't grokking the '.' or '+', that's a bug in python, not coreutils.
