Alexandre,
Hmm.

On 10.3.7 (darwin 7.7.0, same for 7.6.0, can't find a 7.5.0 to try):
peter% ls -L -l -d /
drwxrwxr-t  43 root  admin  1462  5 Feb 22:35 /
peter% ls -l -d /
drwxrwxr-t  43 root  admin  1462  5 Feb 22:35 /

And on 10.2.8 (darwin 6.8.0):
[g3:~] peter% ls -l -L -d /
drwxrwxr-t  31 root  admin  1054 Jan  9 15:18 /
[g3:~] peter% ls -l -d /
drwxrwxr-t  31 root  admin  1054 Jan  9 15:18 /

So, it is quite possible that the behavior of /bin/ls changed :(
