I've found that my local_umask, taken from vsftpd.conf.example doesn't honor selected umask. Searching around gave me a solution to change three digit umask to four digit. So from local_umask=022 i've made 0022 and now it sets permissions that honor local_umask.

This is really an upstream bug
Nothing for us to do here. I am not using this option so I can't verify that. Please contact upstream at scarybeasts_at_gmail_dot_com
