I'm seeing the same behavior on my system.  the script correctly starts vsftpd but doesnt get the PID immediately and puts up the FAIL message.

changing /etc/rc.d/vsftpd like this fixes it for me:

 start)    stat_busy "Starting vsftpd FTP Daemon"    if [ -z "$PID" ]; then      /usr/sbin/vsftpd &      sleep 2      PID=`...

adjust sleep as desired
