Comment(by eoinomurchu):

 That said, my last point about PWD is incorrect, I was having some issues
 further on in the code. The following corrected it, and I don't seem to be
 having any problems.

 So in wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php

 replace
 {{{
         $list = @ftp_rawlist($this->link, '-a ' . $path, false);

         if ( empty($list) ) // Empty array = non-existent folder (real
 folder will show . at least)
                 return false;

 }}}
 with
 {{{
         $pwd = @ftp_pwd();
         $chdir = @ftp_chdir($this->link, $path);
         $list = @ftp_rawlist($this->link, '-a');
         @ftp_chdir($this->link, $pwd);

         if ( empty($list) || !$chdir ) // Empty array = non-existent
 folder real folder will show . at least)
                 return false;
 }}}

 This is a hack/workaround. It's not very pretty, but it does seem to fix
 the error.
