I guess `dir' is an alias to ls with some options. Currently
lftp does not parse options for ls but passes them to ftp
server intact. This does not allow lftp to know if two different
sets of ls arguments refer to the same or different directories.
In short: this is a limitation that cannot be fixed without
parsing ls arguments.
