test_commands test_getstatus also fails on linux with SELinux enabled

On gnu/linux, info ls reports:
"""
    Following the file mode bits is a single character that specifies
     whether an alternate access method such as an access control list
     applies to the file.  When the character following the file mode
     bits is a space, there is no alternate access method.  When it is
     a printing character, then there is such a method.

     GNU `ls' uses a `.' character to indicate a file with an SELinux
     security context, but no other alternate access method.

     A file with any other combination of alternate access methods is
     marked with a `+' character.
"""

So it sounds like the previous patch could be further generalized to (say)
"""
-                  \+?          # It may have ACLs.
+                  [.+@]?       # It may have alt access (SELinux, ACLs 
or metadata ('@' OS X).
"""
