It was more a coreutils than an emacs comment. It looks like the `ls`
alignment changes were intended to make life easier for interactive
users on a terminal console. However those changes shouldn't have
affected --dired output which is in effect a protocol to communicate
with emacs dired mode.

That's another problem, though perhaps dired.el should always work with
'ls -l --dired' output, and that for non-GNU versions of ls, a layer of
elisp filters be added to convert to produce the dired output.
I hasten to add that I know very little about how dired actually works.
