FTP directory remove problem (WinSCP 4.0.5)

WinSCP 4.0.5 using FTP on "ProFTPD 1.3.1rc2 Server",
when deleting directory (here it's named test):

Error
Error deleting file 'test'.
"/home/j/u/junonot/cgi-bin/test/: Invalid argument"

Move operation encounters the same problem: it moves the files succesfully but fails to remove any directory.

Using another ftp client "rmdir test" deleted the 'test' directory just fine.
It was "chmod 711".
Creating a directory using WinSCP405 works fine.

Perhaps the problem is that the server is having trouble deleting the current working directory. Is "cd .." or "cd ~" a good solution to do before the RMD command?
Or is the slash too much at the end of the parameter.
Hopefully I did include enough of the log to be useful:

That's quite probable. I'll fix this in the next version.
