List of files - Possible bug

When using the List of files action, the list comes back with duplicate files not existing in the target folder with an added "._" at the beginning of the file's name (see screenshot of the action’s result and the corresponding folder).

I should also point out that I’m running EM in a VM in an external SSD.

Those looks like MacOS metadata files which are created when files are copied to a file system that doesn't support all the Mac metadata attributes. I assume they are marked as hidden and that's why you can't see them on the right screenshot.

Thanks. Is there a way of unhide them and delete them?

You should be able to change the visibility of hidden files in the "View" menu:

It looks like all those files have names that start with ._. You can filter them in EasyMorph using the startswith() function applied to the file name, and delete all at once using the "Delete list of files" command of the "File command" action.
