Right, and this regression should be fixed in wheezy - not in
wheezy-backports. Backports is not about getting bugfixes for stable.

If there is a patch, can you try if that applies to the version of
vsftpd in wheezy, and propose to get it applied there?

If you only do it because you want to have that bug fixed - please
don't do it. That would be a misconcept and misunderstanding of what
backports is about.
Enjoy!
