For reference, I think, the following reports highlight the root cause(s):

#680418 - gvfs-fuse: Wrongly sucessful posix fwrite call on a gvfs sftp mount can lead to data loss
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=680418

1295007 – Non-GIO (POSIX) API call to save data truncates file to 0 bytes

However, it seems that Leafpad is one of only a few applications where the bug triggers. Off the top of my head I only know Leafpad and L3afpad.
