@Robie

Iirc, the gio pathway is unrelated to this bug: an sshfs mount is a
'local' mount (which is the root of the problem). Saving files to
gnome sftp:// and smb:// file urls works fine (which is why some of us
users stopped caring about this bug years ago :p).

If that's correct, then it's completely appropriate to not treat gio
urls differently, to do otherwise would just introduce a bug in _that_
system.
