Thanks for a bug report. I move this to gtk3, where the blocking call is happening (from my point of view, see the top part of the backtrace below). As something ot test, would it be possible that you had connected/mounted some external device which might cause this behaviour, like a USB (flash) disk, network place or something like that?

*** Bug 1026866 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Note the bug #1026866 contains more information and backtraces on a gvfs issue, thus I move this to gvfs instead.
It is gtk+ bug, because sync calls are used, however it should be already fixed upstream by: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk%2B/commit/?id=c68fc27
