A tech guy at the ISP told me that this is because BBEdit's FTP uses
EPSV and he hasn't found any way to switch it off either.

The tech guy at the ISP doesn't know what he's talking about. :-)

1.  BBEdit only uses Passive FTP if you have the "Passive FTP"
option turned on in the FTP browser at the point of clicking the
    "Connect" button.

2.  BBEdit doesn't use EPSV. It doesn't expect the server to
    support EPSV. It doesn't send the "EPSV" command. Whatever your
    problem is, the server's (lack of) EPSV support and BBEdit's
    (non-)usage of the EPSV command are not involved.

One option is to simply open up the BBEdit application file itself, search for EPSV, and bash one of the characters (say to EXSV) so that the command errors properly

The appropriate thing to do here is to go back to the beginning, look at the symptoms that are actually occurring, figure out what's causing them, and fix the problem. Randomly changing bytes in the application in the hope that it will fix something will simply create other problems.

At this point I would suggest making sure that both settings of the "Passive FTP" switch in the browser window give the same symptoms. If they do, the odds of it being a server or firewall problem are pretty good. Using Interarchy to examine the network traffic between BBEdit and the server would probably shed some light, but it's probably easier to examine the problem from a high level first.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
