This function works perfectly for me on Sid.

lm ()
{
    ls --color=auto -laNF "$@" | $(which less)
}

$ bash --version

If /bin/sh points to bash, then it must be some other environmental 
issue.  I'd scour /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc, then create a new 
user and run the scripts from it, to see whether it's something in 
your own environment.
