Basically if you leave out the <listcols> then we guess you want a single column of the width of the listbox. Your second <listcell> thereby gets squashed in at the right because there's no corresponding <listcol> to tell it what to do. However when you specify the <listcols> then we assume you know what you're doing. In this case you don't, and you've specified zero columns. All the columns then count as extra columns and just get left-aligned by default.
