I have only noticed the sequence of file transfer -> switch to ASCII mode tripping up noncompliant telnet servers with Syncterm, but I haven't been methodically testing various terminals or anything.

Usually when I dial your BBS I use Telix inside DOSBox-X and that's working great.

Interesting that you've found the problem happening on your system, that suggests that Vmodem has an issue with its telnet implementation, I think?
