Note that this command is really bogus. You are asking bash to
execute the command "/bin/ls /foo"  ie. the program foo, in a
subdirectory called l-s-space, in /bin.

But regardless what the error is, I think you should be getting back
the error code.

$ bash -c '/bin/ls /foo'; echo $?
/bin/ls: cannot access /foo: No such file or directory
2
$ bash -c '"/bin/ls /foo"'; echo $?
bash: /bin/ls /foo: No such file or directory
127
$ ssh localhost '/bin/ls /foo'; echo $?
/bin/ls: cannot access /foo: No such file or directory
2
$ ssh root '"/bin/ls /foo"'; echo $?
bash: /bin/ls /foo: No such file or directory
127

As you can see above it all works as expected here.
