it could be a bug
or
the documentation could be more explicit on what should be put as 
<root-dir> and <dirglob>
when you use chrooted anonymous

I think you can leave it as it is (using * as <dirglob>)
because :
if you clearly separate anonymous (/var/wu-ftp/ftp/pub/incoming) tree 
from other guest or real user trees (/var/wu-ftp/<user>), you 
definitelly can't mistaken : the important point is not to have a "/pub" 
dir in other users <root-dir>

here is an extract of my /etc/wu-ftpd/ftpaccess :
<<
...
anonymous-root /var/wu-ftp/ftp
upload    /var/wu-ftp/ftp    *        no
upload    * /pub/incoming   yes     ftpadmin ftpadmin       0222    nodirs
upload /var/wu-ftp * yes user3 user3 0777
...

and my /wu-ftp/etc/passwd (see the home dir specification)
<<
