OK some thoughts... /var/run/proftpd contains:
proftpd.delay
proftpd.sock

all the time, even after the proftpd service is stopped.

On starting the proftpd service another file is created:
proftpd.scoreboard

On stopping the service:
proftpd.scoreboard is removed
proftpd.delay is altered in some way (the timestamp on the file changes)

Could it be that during shutdown, the proftpd service stops and tries to
write its change to proftpd.delay but the system actually shuts down
before the changes are fully committed to disk? i.e. a side-effect of
the ext4 journalling??
