The version of less that I am using for the Amiga accepts input fine from
a pipe... just like the UNIX version.

I don't think so. I use ARP commands exclusively, and the MORE command 
accepts input from a pipe just fine, albeit with the same weird 
double-spacing that you get without ARP. I don't think this is one of
the things that ARP has broken. Please, people, don't blame every
little problem you may be having on ARP - some of us use it rather
reliably. It's like the PC users who blame everything on viruses...
