OK, I finally took the time to discover a way to squash it utterly.
I now have my system setup to run this script after ever yum
update (so if it comes back, I'll squash it again):

#!/bin/bash
#
if [ -f /usr/libexec/gvfs-fuse-daemon ]
then
   rm -f /usr/libexec/NOTgvfs-fuse-daemonNOT
   mv /usr/libexec/gvfs-fuse-daemon /usr/libexec/NOTgvfs-fuse-daemonNOT
fi

By renaming the daemon that runs the fuse mount, it can't
get it started.

I haven't noticed a single thing that fails to function
yet with it disabled like this.

I can't just remove the package that provides the daemon because
several things claim to depend on it, but despite that, they
all seem to work fine without it running.

My ~/.gvfs directory is now just a plain directory with no
weird attributes to confuse the heck out of backup
programs, etc.
