Yeah, looks like mostly a documentation problem.
The ftpchroot(5) man page, which is also the ftpusers(5) man page,
indicates that it is for controlling ftpd(8). The ftpusers(5) man page
references ftpd.conf(5), which as Vadim Goncharov stated, is only used
by lukemftpd(8). If two ftp daemons are going to be included in the base
system, both of which use ftpchroot and ftpusers but parse them
differently, the man pages for those files should describe how they are
used by each of the two daemons.
As a side note, it sounds like I can get the behavior I was looking for
by using lukemftpd, rather than ftpd.
