Aparently it is not that easy to make gvfs-fuse-daemon unresponsive
without a broken gvfs-mount. That seems good enough to call the issue
solved. I still think accessing ~/.gvfs/non-broken-mount/foo should work
even when ~/.gvfs/mount-with-broken-backend/foo fails (it does with
0.2.5-1.1 when not using the fuse-daemon, but gvfs-fuse-daemon will
hang), but that is not the same issue and most probably not RC.
Apologies for the confusion.

Kind regards
