If you load files.el in the MS-Windows port, make sure you load
ls-lisp.el right after that.  That's because ls-lisp.el overloads the
standard version of insert-directory, defined by files.el, so loading
files.el reverts you to the original version of insert-directory,
which doesn't DTRT on Windows.

Could it be that the whole problem does not exist if you load
ls-lisp.el after files.el?
