Unless I misunderstand, dired and wdired work fine provided you include
the -l switch. Without the -l switch, wdired no longer works. 

As the -l switch is a documented requirement, I don't believe this
constitutes a bug. 

However, Andreas would like to be able to use dired/wdired without the
-l i.e. on a brief and I assume more compact dired/wdired display. Iff
this is the case, I'd argue its a feature request and not a bug report.
