recordList::makeFieldList() is the method that gets a list of fields. It 
adds those tstamp + crdate from TCA if you are an "admin" or if it is 
not checking for permissions.

It seems that tstamp + crdate are then again always added in the method 
you are patching, even if those are not really the real field names for 
that specific table. So there is also the bug that "tstamp" might not 
even be the correct name of the tstamp field (as this can be adapted in 
TCA-ctrl).

So I think the fix should add a way (new parameter?) for makeFieldList 
to force it to return the correct tstamp + crdate fields also for 
"regular" users (non admins) so that the method you are patching doesn't 
need to be explicitly add them again or read them from TCA.

There are some other bugs in that area (like you can select _REF_ which 
is not shown if you are not in extended mode, _LOCALIZATION_ can be 
chosen even if not in locazation mode etc), but those could wait for the 
"new list module" in 4.3. :)
