The memory usage seems to be proportional to the size of the files copied. When I copied 370 MB of files, according to 'top' the gvfsd- gphoto2 memory usage in RES column at the end was 420 MB. Memory is freed when I unplug USB. So a workaround is to copy only a few 100 MB of files, then unplug USB, then replug and resume.
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.
