I guess the version of 'ls' there is incompatible or something? The
message means that 'ls' exited with a non-zero status for some reason.
Please investigate more what went wrong there and report here the
details, so we could decide whether we want to support "plan9/bin"
idiosyncrasies, whatever they are. Stepping with Edebug through
insert-directory should help you understand what's going on.
Also, please explain what you mean by "for the following interactive
shells". How does the interactive shell enter this picture? And what
is the value of shell-file-name in the session where "C-x d" fails?
