Oops, that's an error. Timestamps are refreshed when backups are
written; disabling backup shows this error. I've fixed it in Tramp.

I haven't been successful with this. GVFS does not allow to set
content-type of files explicitly (there is such a D-Bus method, but it
seems not implemented).
Coming back to your original problem, try this:
(setq tramp-backup-directory-alist '(("/davs?:" . "/.emacs.d/backups/")))
This shall write all backup files into the directory .emacs.d/backups/
on the remote WebDAV server. The trick is, that your home directory
there is "/".
