I'm not aware how to do that. and have not looked at the code at all.

Sorry, should have said that I tested using Nautilus, and it copies the files
across making the copied filename the G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_DISPLAY_NAME
instead of the ID. Using Nautilus, I do not experience the same problem, thus I
believe the issue is with Thunar, since both Thunar and Nautilus are using the
same GVFS libraries as far as I know.

I think the direction to maintain the attributes is within the GVFS filesystem,
perhaps? Thunar's internal representation of the file object should use the ID,
and that should be used when interacting with the GVFS remote system. But in
order to maintain the displayed filename when copying to a non-GVFS filesystem,
the display name needs to be used for the filename, since in local filesystems,
they are the same thing. I'm making some assumptions based on general knowledge
rather than any specific knowledge of GFile or Thunar code.
