Sure, searching for "rfc 1337 inurl:ftp" returns FTP urls for the top four results for me.

I wonder if any FTP was spoken by the spider to discover those resources, or whether those are just opaque FTP links discovered embedded in HTTP resources, that were not crawled further.

They're crawled, and the full content is indexed. (You can see a text snippet, and some of the results aren't actually RFC 1337 but other RFCs referring to it).

Yes, google has a cache of some FTP links, as found by GPs query.
