I just got sent this by a user of my software that uses libcurl to
upload files. Has anybody seen an FTP server return an error of
"Invalid command" for the "TYPE A" command? And is there a way to
get around it?

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice there is no similarity.
