The doc string of `dired-listing-switches' says that you must include `-l' - as
you probably read. So all bets are off if you do not do that.
But especially if it "works" anyway, I would say file a bug report. The Emacs
developers will clarify whether it is in fact a bug, and will perhaps tweak the
product or the doc based on the details you report, in the interest of clarity.
Use `M-x send-emacs-bug-report', and start from `emacs -Q'.
