'ubuntu-bug gvfs-bin'

Alternatively, upstream. I would guess that is bugs.gnome.org or
something similar. The homepage address from the package is:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gvfs

I do not know if Canonical has added any patches to gvfs, which is why
I suggested Launchpad first, but upstream is probably a better place to
get an actual answer that might tell you something.
