I'm also affected by this bug. gvfsd-http does not close TCP connections:

gvfsd-htt 4057 filiprino 29u IPv4 2956220 0t0 TCP aba.local:39878->barbadine.canonical.com:http (CLOSE_WAIT)

That's an example of non closed connection. If I copy images from a webpage or whatever gvfsd-http can be used for, those connections stay in CLOSE_WAIT state.
