Almost!
Unfortunately, it just transfers the problem....
Doing what you suggested means they can now see the directory - but the
wont get prompted for authentication until they click on the link for a
file...
Sadly, the protected files are not listed.
There must be some way to force apache to list/show protected files ....

Bit of a guess, here, but why not try putting all of the Auth stuff in
.htaccess inside a Files block, with a match of '*'?
