"it's not a bug, it's a feature" ...
When those files belong to another user you are not able to alter them (with the above mentioned permissions).

However back to the topic of usernumber shown instead of username:
I visited www.proftpd.net and did a little readinng, since this happened to our RaQ4 as well. 
I think this should be taken care of by "PersistentPasswd on" in proftpd.conf or by adding "-p 1" to the commandline. I tried both but to no avail :-(
Strange thing is, I don't see the keyword when I do a "proftpd -td5" ...

I think there might be some issue with proftp 1.2.4 or the glibc on our RaQs.
