It _can_ freeze (that is, the fuse daemon can). The problem is that tasks _using_ the fuse filsystem can't if the daemon doesn't respond. These tasks are stuck in uninterruptible wait states deep in the filesystem layer, probably holding important locks. They can't be frozen until the outstanding requests complete.
