Probably what is going on here is that default-dir.el (which is
required by dired) is doing a (require 'view), which is causing
view-file to be defined according to view.el, and not view-less.el.
Does view-less.el to a (provide 'view)?
Probably your work-around is the best solution for now. Once the
dired menus are re-vamped, I will be doing some more work on
default-dir.el. I hope to eliminate all the overloading that it does,
as well as eliminate the (require 'view).
