I've tried to reproduce it with Emacs 26.3 as provided by Ubuntu 19.10,
but it works for me. *ls returns the requested file names.
I had to modify your example slightly:
* use sudo instead of su
* expand default-directory due to ~/
So I have applied
cd (concat "/sudo::" (expand-file-name default-directory))
But this shouldn't make a difference wrt the problem. I have also
started Emacs with "-Q", in order to suppress any config. Could you do
it also? I see ido in your messages, for example.
Best regards, Michael.
