This is always my approach. Turns out the solution was rather simple
here. After switching SELinux to permissive mode and connecting to the
server, I did this:

  # sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log

The problem here was that I got a small tsunami of suggestions. But in
the middle of this flood, I got a boolean to set, so on a hunch, I tried
that:

  # setsebool -P ftpd_full_access 1

Turns out this solved all SELinux-related problems. So Vsftp works
perfectly now with my custom Iptables firewall *and* SELinux in
enforcing mode.

Cheers & thanks for all your suggestions.
