ls (GNU coreutils) 6.9 - Ordering wrong in en_AU locale - .dot files interspersed

[Lyall Pearce]

Using
 coreutils 6.9 (gentoo version is sys-apps/coreutils-6.9-r1)
 glibc 2.5 (gentoo version sys-apps/glibc-2.5-r3)

env variable LANG=en_AU

ls -la output intersperses .dot files amongst normal files, (see example
below)

When LANG=en, the ordering is as I expect, as per 'ls' info page,
alphabetical on filename.
