No need for a vote.  Carl is correct.

I don't understand why you "would expect that".  You have established
two connections, one from your laptop to server A and one from your
laptop to server B.  If you move something via a local client
[GVFS/Nautilus] the data will be acquired via connection A and sent via
connection B.   Secure connections whether SCP or HTTPS are always
between exactly two end-points.
