This looks to be fixed in the latest policy.

There is a policy boolean ftp_home_dir which you'd think, if turned on,
would allow access, but it appears to be broken.  Try inserting

allow ftpd_t user_home_dir_type:dir { search getattr };
rw_dir_create_file(ftpd_t,user_home_type);

inside the if (ftp_home_dir) {}.
