This is similar to Bug#4075. The problem is, that the `dired-filename'
text property is wrongly set in the dired buffer for that entry.
Under GNU/Linux, this property is set correctly, likely due to the
"--dired" switch of the ls command (see `insert-directory'). Tramp
hasn't set it until recently, and somebody else did set the wrong value
when Tramp's `tramp-handle-insert-directory' was finished.
I have solved it (partly) by setting this text property in
`tramp-handle-insert-directory', if possible. I have no idea what
happens on Mac.
Best regards, Michael.
