[SOLVED] gvfs-1.42.0-1 introduces some bug with sftp

Hi,
The recent upgrade from gvfs packages 1.40.2-1 to 1.42.0-1, e.g.

gvfs (1.40.2-1 -> 1.42.0-1)
gvfs-afc (1.40.2-1 -> 1.42.0-1)
gvfs-goa (1.40.2-1 -> 1.42.0-1)
gvfs-google (1.40.2-1 -> 1.42.0-1)
gvfs-gphoto2 (1.40.2-1 -> 1.42.0-1)
gvfs-mtp (1.40.2-1 -> 1.42.0-1)
gvfs-nfs (1.40.2-1 -> 1.42.0-1)
gvfs-smb (1.40.2-1 -> 1.42.0-1)

has introduced a bug in my case related to mounting sftp directory in a file manager.  The bug is that with a file manager such as nautilus or thunar, you cannot sftp a server and you get the error "Oops! Something went wrong. Don't have permission to access the requested location" in the case of nautilus and something similar in the case of thunar, while you can ssh and/or sftp the server without any problem in a terminal.
I have downgraded all gvfs packages to 1.40.2-1 and it works again in the file manager.
I am posting in case someone is also looking. Not sure if this is a bug that should be reported to gvfs.

Please don't post presolved topics and downgrading is not a sustainable solution. Look through your journal logs when the issue happens.
