Hack-
While it now "seems" to parse correctly, and while it displays "TYPE A" in
its download dialog, it does NOT actually download the file in ASCII format,
but in binary.

And it is! wget will parse it correctly. Obs the debug output doesn't
include the ftp type. I'll submit a patch for this.
The other possibility is to escape the ; with a backslash like \;type=A
$ wget -d "ftp://127.0.0.1/test.bin;type=A"
DEBUG output created by Wget 1.6.1-dev on cygwin32.
parseurl ("ftp://127.0.0.1/test.bin;type=A") -> host 127.0.0.1 ->
ftp_type A
-> opath test.bin -> dir -> file test.bin -> ndir
newpath: /test.bin

PS: If you're not using the latest and greatest version 1.6 grab it from
a
GNU mirror near you or look at the web-site (http://sunsite.dk/wget) for
instruccions
