Ubuntu phones have had MTP support for some time so that original instance of the bug is no longer a problem
I no longer have the rules workarounds, this has been fine for me on both vivid and wily.
Which ubuntu version and what are you plugging in?

Title:
  gvfs should not attempt to mount MTP devices in an endless loop
  (cluttering your desktop with messages)

Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  trying to use phablet-flash in raring to flash a phone or tablet (or
  when just running adb shell or adb root from commandline) causes a
  constant reconnect loop of an attached mtp device. it seems adb and
  gvfs try concurrently to establish a connection which results in
  permanent reconnects and a huge amount of mtp popup windows on the
  desktop PC.
