Indeed, the bug is still present in Natty. To solve the problem, I wrote a little shell script that will do a `ls` on each FTP mounted with gvfs every 15 seconds, and that seems to do the trick. I attached it to my message, hopefully it will help someone else. Just launch the script and forget it ;).
