$ sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd restart
proftpd        | * Starting ProFTPD ...                                                                                  [ !! ]
proftpd        | * ERROR: proftpd failed to start

in inetd mode it's an error to attempt to start daemon.
It does create /var/run/ entry though.

Another misfeature: some fields seem to be optional and tmpfiles.sh
dislikes it (example is taken from the bottom of tmpfiles.d.html).
Looks like just missing quotes in tests:

tmpfiles.d # cat screen.conf 
d /var/run/screens  1777 root root 10d
d /var/run/uscreens 0755 root root 10d12h
sf tmpfiles.d # /lib/rc/sh/tmpfiles.sh --create
/lib/rc/sh/tmpfiles.sh: 274: [: =: unexpected operator
/lib/rc/sh/tmpfiles.sh: 274: [: =: unexpected operator
