My use case is a Mint 17.x VM using a VirtualBox vboxsf to a Win8.1
host.  I had this same problem in Geany and it was driving me insane
until I found
http://wiki.geany.org/config/all_you_never_wanted_to_know_about_file_saving
and then "Edit > Prefs > Various > use_atomic_file_saving: checked"
fixed it for me.  Be sure to read the URL as there are implications.
Obviously this does not fix Gedit but it may be an acceptable work-
around for some people.

Title:
  Can't save changes in VirtualBox Shared Folder. Nano, OOo do it.

Status in gedit:
  New
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  I can't edit files in VirtualBox Shared Folders:
  sudo mkdir /mnt/share
  sudo mount.vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 vs /mnt/share
  or
  sudo mount -t vboxsf vs /mnt/share -o rw,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,dev
  $ echo blubb > /mnt/share/New
  it works

  $ ls -l /mnt/share
  $ -rw-rw-rw- 1 usr usr 31 2009-03-11 18:24 New
  $ gedit /mnt/share/New - can't save changes.
  (But nano, OpenOffice.org do it!)
  How to edit files in shared folders with gedit?

  
  But, L try now, gedit can save into file without caps letters, for example, 
  $ gedit /mnt/share/New 
  edit and save as 'new ' - gedit do it
