This is most likely matching the user and group names, which indeed do
not start with a dot and most likely begin with lowercase letters.
The date shouldn't match because it generally starts with a capital
letter, so you can try changing "ls -al" to "ls -aln" to get numeric
IDs, and see if this works.
You might try
ls -al | grep -e ^d | grep -e '\<[^.][^[:space:]]*$'
which will force grep to look at the last word in the line.
Note that this might have problems with filenames that contain spaces,
and will have problems with symlinks.
