:i.e., correct. But,

:Shouldn't it have returned the other two files?

No.  

Oh, do you want a reason?
13440 = 14k	(13440 + 1023) / 1024
14336 = 14k	(14336 + 1023) / 1024
 9700 = 10k	( 9700 + 1023) / 1024
 4587 =  5k	( 4587 + 1023) / 1024
 4925 =  5k	( 4925 + 1023) / 1024
 6588 =  7k	( 6588 + 1023) / 1024

ls *(Lk5)    should return pubs.ref and pubs.ref~

The complement to  ``ls *(Lk+5)'' is ``ls *(Lk-5,Lk5)''

You also wrote:
:  $ ls *(m-5)
:  /usr/local/bin/ls: *(m-5): No such file or directory
:  $ ls *(m+5)
:  /usr/local/bin/ls: *(m+5): No such file or directory
:The last line should return the complement, shouldn't it?

No.  The complement is:
$ ls *(m+5,m5)
