I think it's actually something to do with the gmane interface that I
post to. I attach the files with Thunderbird but when they post to the
list, they end up being embedded. Apologies but there doesn't seem to be
any way for me to control that.

You are seeing things correctly. This has been the problem all along.
When ls fails, it just dies right in the middle, but exits with a 0
error code.
