I was unable to log in to 10.0.42.141 to reproduce this bug.  However,

  (file-directory-p "/anonymous <at> ftp.kernel.org:/pub/README")

works properly (i.e., it returns nil).  I recently fixed a bug in
ange-ftp.el which may be related to this, so could you check whether the
problem persists with latest CVS?
