Checking back a little, I have the same problem with Coreutils-8.17.
Sounds like commit
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=448718c1
between v8.14..v8.15.
NEWS entry:
+ ls's -k option no longer affects how ls -l outputs file sizes.
+ It now affects only the per-directory block counts written by -l,
+ and the sizes written by -s. This is for compatibility with BSD
+ and with POSIX 2008. Because -k is no longer equivalent to
+ --block-size=1KiB, a new long option --kibibyte stands for -k.
+ [bug introduced in coreutils-4.5.4]
