This is entirely due to a bug in package-get.el. insert-file-contents-literally will not download files with efs (as it sets file-name-handler-alist to nil - notice the d:\ in your error message). The error message "ftp-error FTP Error: CWD 550 /pub/xemacs/packages/package-index.LATEST.pgp/: Not a directory" on the other hand seems to be due to some bug in efs - but they are not related.
