Paul,

I agree that this is a regression in user space, but I would also like 
to note that, as I reported in Debian Bug#883425 ([3] and [4] below), I 
was able to restore user space functionality by upgrading to gvfs 
1.35.90-1. This later gvfs appears to support (i.e. survive) these uevents.

Kind regards,
Ben.
