Title:
vim-gtk can no longer save to GVFS SFTP mounts in 18.04

Bug description:
In Ubuntu 16.04, with gvim 7.4.1689, I can open files over GVFS SSH
mounts (by going to `ssh://wherever` in the address bar in the file
browser and double-clicking on the file), edit them, and save them.
In Ubuntu 18.04, when I install `vim-gtk` and try to do the same
thing, I can open the files just fine, but when I try to save them I
get a message that Vim "Can't open file for writing".
If I check out the Vim source tree and build and install vim
v7.4.1689, which is what Xenial is shipping now, and use *that* gvim
on Ubuntu 18.04, I can save over SSH mounts. I can also save fine from
gedit.
Something is wrong with the gvim shipping with 18.04.
