   Everything that's marked in [ ] here:

   This still appears in the proportional default face.

That's because it is the proportional default face.  If you want to
the way these characters look, either change the definition of the
default face, or change the fontlocking code in dired to use a
different face!  Maybe that should be your bug report / feature
request... cause I don't think you can change the default face on a
buffer-by-buffer or mode-by-mode basis, because AFAIK, faces resolve
at the frame level.
