 Problem with core updates is this new bug
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/63173
 That is literally blowing my mind.

 I need to keep debugging into this, for some reason `ftpext` has always
 been my nightmare. I used to use this method long way in the past and I
 always had zillions of issues depending on the setup.

 Now that we have `env` and a new issue regarding `ftpext` has returned, I
 have more opportunities to test this more thoroughly.

 By the way, I don't understand your snippet

 > Following is the snipet of wp-config.php.
 {{{
 define('FS_METHOD', 'ftpext');
 define('FTP_HOST', 'localhost');
 define('FTP_USER', 'your user');
 define('FTP_PASS', 'your secret password');
 }}}


 > The main problem is that in the called maintenance_mode(),
 WP_Filesystem() is called without any arguments. When FS_METHOD is set to
 'ftpext' (or non 'direct'), credentials are necessary to pass to
 WP_Filesystem() constructor.

 You said that the bug occur when no credentials are placed. Or I did
 understand it wrongly?
