Looking at the bug-fix list for proftp, I see in version 1.2.5rc2 they 
fixed something described as:

  - Bug 1539 - losing SGID bit on created directories
    w/ {User,Group}Owner in effect

or...

  - Bug 1581 - Changed Hide{User,Group} directive to use
    pointers for proper handling of uid_t/gid_t types


This looks like it may be it - there are several other things above 1.2.4 
that may also be to blame. (I really have no clue!)
