It is fixed in sshfs 1.9 .
When I was testing with sshfs 1.9, copying dir with 15.000 files in subdirs, and find . it, it was fine for hours.
As soon as I switched back to stock sshfs 1.7, after 3 minutes the copy failed, and I got:
rafal@desktop:~/mnt/ice$ ls
ls: .: Transport endpoint is not connected
