Seems odd for it to be a bash problem if it works fine under bash as the
OP indicates. 

Note that in emacs 23, eshell and ls -d * works as expected i.e. only
gives directory names and not contents - the same as it does when run
under bash. 

I'm running 

GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.11) of 2008-10-11 on lion
GNU bash, version 3.2.39(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
ls (GNU coreutils) 6.10
Linux lion 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP Wed Oct 1 12:03:14 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

What version of emacs and bash and what platform is the OP on?
