I've found a nice workaround for this, at least for the case where root
is trying to backup /home.

Before performing the backup, do:

mount --bind /home /mnt/home-bind

Then, backup /mnt/home-bind instead of /home. The bind mount exposes
only things on the filesystem mounted at /home, so you get a full backup
of that, without the FUSE/gvfs problem getting in the way.
