First of all, thanks for your help.

Given that comment, I think stating that "GIO is not POSIX-compatible" 
is a vast understatement. Lots of software will just not work properly.

Did I miss some obvious warning about that? I would argue that, if GIO 
mounts something over FUSE, most people would expect it to work well in 
normal scenarios. If some weird permission issue arises, no one would be 
surprised, but if such basic functionality is missing, that would be a 
surprise, right?

If I need to use gvfs-copy instead of cp to be sure, then I do not need 
to mount anything over FUSE!

I actually want to mount an encrypted filesystem like EncFS over a 
gvfs-mount WebDAV mount, but from your answer, it seems that this is not 
possible. If this is a GIO limitation, I take it that it wouldn't work 
either for any other mounting protocols like SMB or SSH, would it?
