Yeah, I'm a moron.

Is that expected or is it a bug

It's expected (I just didn't try the command line I gave you).

"git ls-files" is low-level plumbing, and those things generally do only 
what you ask from them and never anything user-friendly. In particular, 
they tend to avoid policy decisions. An example of this is "git diff" that 
colorizes the output by default as you have specified, but "git diff-tree" 
that does not.
