sshfs doesn't allow one to rename files to existing files. Normal sftp
also doesn't allow this:

sftp> rename foo bar
Couldn't rename file "/home/dennis/foo" to "/home/dennis/bar": Failure

I'm not sure where exactly the bug in sshfs is, but I think it's not a
bug but specified as such in the ssh protocol. gedit should not fail
saving if a backup can't be created imho so the bug is back at gedit.
