In fact - yes. Please see bug 338496 on debian bugtracker:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338496

I have submitted there a bug (look at the three last comments at the
end of report) about gedit not being able to save to sshfs. The
problem was the same - rename failed. I have never explored the
solution but it is suggested in last comment.

Cheers,
