I was surprised and did an ls -l on the files and guess what I found:

total 0

So end result is that, Im not able to delete the files or change perms
or ownership even as root.
Most probably, your filesystem is broken and needs a fsck.
No, this is perfectly normal behaviour, for when a directory
has READ permissions but not EXECUTE permissions.

Er, close.

        16:02 ichi:/dev/shm > chmod 644 a

        16:02 ichi:/dev/shm > ls --version
        ls (GNU coreutils) 6.9


There is a difference ..  "-?????????" vs "?---------".

That's just a version difference for GNU ls.
Here, with ls (GNU coreutils) 5.97 it gives this:

?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? a/b
