I can now also confirm that this does not affect the normal FTP protocol
in FileZilla.  To reproduce a clean download:

1)  Launch FileZilla

2)  In the "Host" field, put in "ftp.mozilla.org" without the quotes or
another site which allows anonymous FTP downloads

3)  Grab one of the folders to queue up a lot of files

4)  No GUI freezes occur during the download, as evidenced by there
being no errors/freezes now 18 minutes into the download and having
already completed 40+ files

This leads my to think that it is specific to the interaction between
FileZilla and SFTP, but I have no way of checking the other protocols.
If you wanted to construct a bullet-proof testing environment, you would
need two machines (one functioning as a client, one as a server) and a
network connection between the two.  Then you would have to install
file-server packages on the one and FileZilla on the other.  This would
let you test in extremely controlled conditions to isolate the problem
with the protocols.
