Still no go I'm afraid. I also edited
/etc/profile.d/coreutils-dircolors.sh and made color=never the
default option.

I tried /bin/ls and /usr/bin/ls

Funnily enough when I first tried that and forgot to change $host to
the actual hostname it still listed the remote files/dirs.

If I choose a subdir on the remote it seems to always list the
current dir on the local, and it has those annoying escapes too.

Weird.

I'm going to have to start dissecting my local zsh files I think.
