Indeed it fails if one sets dired-use-ls-dired to nil. That variable is initialized in a funny way, via (string-match "gnu" system-configuration) I guess (?) many Mac users do indeed have access to GNU ls, despite not having "gnu" in their `system-configuration'. It also doesn't really seem to be documented anywhere that dired will perform less well if the underlying ls does not support --dired.
