You are right, the bug is fixed upstream. I have manually downloaded
gvfs-bin_1.34.1-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb and checked the file: it includes the
fix.
However it is not fixed on my computer. And I do not know why.
Unfortunately I have not found the package in /var/cache/apt/archives,
then I am not sure if the .deb installed on my computer is the same.
I have never tampered with my installation. This is a fresh install of
Artful Beta1 updated once a day with "apt dist-upgrade". I dont know
what has happened.
Regarding the use of "$@:2", there is no error displayed because:
1. "$@:2" is valid syntax in both shells, but it is clearly a bug
because it is expanded to "$1" "$2" ... ":2", which does not make sense.
I think that in bash it should have been "${@:2}" (2 is an offset),
while in dash the syntax is not supported and you should use "shift"
instead. You can check it by running:
$ echo 'echo "$@:2"; echo "${@:2}"' | bash -s foo bar
foo bar:2
bar
$ echo 'echo "$@:2"; echo "${@:2}"' | dash -s foo bar
foo bar:2
dash: 1: Bad substitution
2. "gio help info" discards all parameters after "info", then for
example "gio help info :2" is equivalent to "gio help info".
In short: I think you can safely remove "$@:2".

Title:
gvfs-info bashism
Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The script /usr/bin/gvfs-info uses two bash features:
1. "==" is used for string comparison instead of "="
2. "$@:2" is used instead of "shift" and then "$@" to expand all but the
first argument.
You can see the errors by running "gvfs-info --help".
I have found this bug using xdg-open to open a PDF file from the
command line. xdg-open executes "gvfs-info --help" to check the
environment, but this command fails because of the problems described.
The attached patch fixes the problem for me.
