It should say:

initiator                                                    listener
       |                                                           |
       |    S  0(20) <MP_CAPABLE>, <TFO cookie>                    |
       | --------------------------------------------------------> |
       |                                                           |
       |    S. 0(0) ack 21 <MP_CAPABLE>                            |

       |                                                           |

Notes:

The example for TCP Fastopen with MPTCPv1 in RFC8684, Appendix-B.3 shows the listener sending an incorrect data-ack in its first data packet to the initiator sent immediately after its SYN-ACK.
At this point, the listener has not received the initiator's key, so it cannot generate the data-ack in it's response packets.
The correct behaviour would be to set flag 'A' to 0 and exclude sending data-ack until the initiator's key is received.
