Can you confirm how and where you see this message?
In my tests, both gvfs and gio will cause it to be displayed on the console, but only earlier gnome implementations of GIO will cause it to be displayed at a pop-up dialog when you click a message containing the magic string.

When thunderbird engages gvfs it catches exceptions which by default will not produce a pop-up. When gio backs of this functionality to gvfs it does not catch exceptions which is what causes the popup.
If you're getting a pop-up and you do not have --enable-gio (and/or GIO is not installed) then this is news to me.
