I figured it out myself: it's the "dns:fatal-timeout 0" setting in my 
.lftprc. The funny thing is that "0" is the default and actually means 
"no timeout"

man lftp
"dns:fatal-timeout (seconds)
limit the time for DNS queries. If DNS server is unavailable too long, 
lftp will fail to resolve  a  given  host  name. 0  means               
unlimited, the default."

It's a classical bug, my Linux lftp 3.5.7 shows the same behaviour.
