I thought RMS had recently implemented support for GNU "ls -lD" in CVS
Emacs. That should solve the problem in general when GNU "ls" is
being used, since "ls -lD" exactly identifies where each file name is.
The problems you're running into would then occur only with non-GNU
"ls", for which the obvious solution is to install GNU "ls".
Yes, the latest Dired code knows how to use --dired.
However, it does this only on the GNU system:
(defvar dired-use-ls-dired (not (not (string-match "gnu" system-configuration)))
If there is a reliable, trouble-free and quick way to check
whether the ls program supports --dired, that could be used instead.
