Well if yout have ftproot/pub for anonymous and
ftproot/upload for upload (two separate directories with no links 
between them) then the problem goes away.

This isn't a bug it a feature (sort of). Basically Xitami inherits 
permissions from the parent specified and by means of the method of access.

In your case you appear to have defined pub/ as G and pub/upload/ as PM. 
Unfortunately this means that because you can get to pub/upload from pub 
the permissions from pub also apply to pub/upload.
