Is that on Windows or on Unix?

On Windows, this is expected, as only an approximation to the Unicode
Collation Algorithm is available there.

On GNU/Linux, it would be strange, since 'ls' uses the same functions
as Emacs now does in ls-lisp.

That's good enough for me, so I'm closing the bug.

Thanks.
