Along the way, I also found that 

    (insert-directory "/ftp:kai@localhost:/tmp/kais-file" "-ld")

barfs whereas

    (insert-directory "/tmp/kais-file" "-ld")

inserts a nice line.  (/tmp/kais-file is a regular file.)

I have no idea whether this is related to the original bug I was
talking about or not.

Ange-FTP does really complicated things.  For instance,
ange-ftp-send-cmd frobs the command mightily, depending on what it is.
If the command is `dir', it issues `cd' first, and then `dir'.

How to proceed from here?

I'm willing to spend time on this, but at the moment I'm stuck.  So
if somebody could say something to unstick me, I'd be very grateful.
