Same problem here on 8.10.

However i would like to note that the readme file at:
"/usr/share/doc/vsftpd/README.Debian", lines 16-18

=>
Anonymous FTP by default uses the home diretory and privileges of the "ftp"
user for its root directory. Installing the vsftpd package for the first
time will create this user.
<=

hints that creation of this directory is intended behavior.
(removing the directory "/home/ftp" breaks the ftp).

So probably an reporting error in the apt package.
