This bug still exists in Precise (12.04). The only workaround for end-users is to disable the disk monitoring (Preferences, uncheck Disk).
There is a patch available at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579888#c3 (the upstream bug, still open BTW) but it is not included with the latest (gnome-applets-3.5.2) release nor the Trusty version (3.5.92). The only thing that patch does is to exclude the SSHFS mounts from monitoring (along with CIFS/Samba and NFS mounts which are currently excluded).
