This isn't a bug. You've misunderstood what -d is supposed to do.
Without -d, ls shows the contents of . (or the directories given on
the command line). With -d, only the directories themselves are
listed, not their contents, but -d doesn't (and isn't meant to) affect
*which* directories are examined. To get (almost) the behavior you
want, use ls -d together with shell globbing:
$ ls -d */
