But it is doing SNAT of *outgoing* requests only, correct? There is no
SNAT occurring on the FTP control connection whose conntrack entry you
forwarded.

Please understand that the problem you are seeing here has *nothing* to
do with the Shorewall box or with FTP helpers. The problem is that the
FTP server is refusing to create an active mode data connection to
10.24.8.11. Was that the actual IP address of the ftp client or was it
96.64.220.253?
