The trouble is that if I copy a bunch of files, or change directories several times using the sftp:// interface, it gets triggered and I get locked out.

Have you tried using SSH's ControlMaster feature? ('man ssh_config') You can establish an initial SSH connection and subsequent connections to the host will reuse the master connection instead of initiating new ones.
It can be enabled by adding a stanza to your ~/.ssh/config similar to: Host * ControlMaster auto ControlPath ~/.ssh/master...@%h.%p ServerAliveInterval 60 ServerAliveCountMax 3
