I havn't really followed this thread but to me this seems like a MTU
problem with the ipsec tunnel and that the ftpserver sends large tcp
packets with the DF bit set (I know glftpd can do this).

You can probably find more about MTU problems in the freeswan
mailinglists.

If everything else fails you can probably use the TCPMSS target with the
--clamp-mss-to-pmtu option.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat
