I can confirm this. I think it happens after a ftp connection is left inactive on nautilus for a while. Workaround: I found that if I kill the gvfsd-ftp process and quit nautilus with the 'nautilus -q' command (this last step may not be needed) I can then connect again to the ftp location when I start nautilus again but this shouldn't be needed in the first place so this is clearly considered as a bug.
