But it's an EFS problem, isn't it? Strictly speaking,
it's not a core
XEmacs issue.

Are the EFS packages being used up to date?
My EFS is 1.19 which seems to be the latest available.
IIRC I had to update EFS to the most recent version to get
package-ui
working. It wasn't an XEmacs bug per se on my system as with updated
EFS several versions of XEmacs that didn't work started working. The
package-ui code was clearly correct; it was some workaround in EFS for
broken ftpds that was going wrong.
I still get the bogus attempts to cwd to the package list file, but
then there is a cwd to the correct directory and the file is
downloaded properly.
Yes it does but it throws an annoying warning which will probably freak out
most users. In some situations when working with remote files and auto-saving
it becomes a major pain (and I am choosing my words carefully to avoid being
rude here...).
