Well, I would need a recipe to reproduce. Could you run it, when
tramp-verbose is set to 10? And please tell me at which time the problem
starts to appear, so I have a chance to find it in the debug buffer.
I know that the debug buffer will be huge after a while, but there is no
problem if you send it directly to me (or a URL where I could find it).

The sshfs Tramp method does not support (remote) file
notifications. Auto-revert could work only with polling for this method.
