It seems to be like this is a bug in encfs rather than in rsync? I appreciate newer rsync might have changed behaviour, but ultimately encfs needs to provide a regular (if virtual) filesystem. Where it doesn't, rsync can't be expected to work.
Is there any specific reason to think that encfs is working correctly in your failure case?
