1) Run DIRED against a non-empty.

2) Add a new, empty file to the directory (in the example below,
   "20.0-patch1.txt---marker").  Note that, as I would expect, the new file
   is sorted after "20.0-patch1.txt".

3) Re-name (using 'R') the "marker" file so it should be sorted in a
   different place in the buffer.  The new filename is shown, but the
   buffer contents aren't resorted.

Reverting the buffer (with 'g') cleans things up.

ps: I'm not sure when this showed up; I think it might have been around the
    b91 timeframe....
