Save dialogs no longer allow remote locations

I used to be able to save files to remote (SFTP, in this case) locations using the save dialogs of Firefox, Thunderbird, Google Chrome, etc. The SFTP locations are mounted through Nemo (therefore, by GVFS, I presume). This changed sometime this week (I could do this on Monday), instead I am now presented with this error:

I presumed this would be a bug with GTK, since the three apps are all using GTK, as far as I can tell, but GNOME apps like Evince aren't. In fact, the dialog from Evince is wildly different from, say, Chrome's.

The versions of packages mentioned so far:

extra/gtk2 2.24.25-1 [installed]
extra/gtk3 3.14.7-1 [installed]
aur/google-chrome 40.0.2214.93-1 (1027) [installed]
extra/thunderbird 31.4.0-1 [installed]
extra/firefox 35.0.1-1 [installed]
extra/evince 3.14.1-2 (gnome) [installed]

Has anyone else come across this problem? I would think this is a problem with GTK2, but the gtk2 package was last updated on 16th October. Since then I have applied upgrades to my system numerous  times and used this feature often.
